Common approaches to Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

Hear from Erin Sheplavy, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

View Erin Sheplavy's profile

What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

I use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in some format for all of my clients, as it helps with teaching how distress is experienced and impacts the body. It also breaks down numerous effective coping skills for varying levels of distress and more effective and clear communication skills that many people benefit from.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

In using DBT, I teach the majority of the skills from each of the main sections:

Distress tolerance
Emotion regulation
Interpersonal effectiveness
Mindfulness

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy?

I know a client is making progress with DBT in therapy when they are able to independently identify the level of their distress, use effective coping skills to regulate, and are applying coping skills effectively in their daily lives.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in therapy by practicing their DBT skills in their daily lives.

What should someone do to prepare for starting dialectical behavior therapy?

In preparing to start DBT, you can benefit from starting to reflect on your distress and emotions, how you tend to approach uncomfortable feelings or distress, and reflecting on your ability to be present and communicate effectively.
