Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) FAQs

What is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)?

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.

How does DBT work?

You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.

What is DBT best used for?

DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.

What are the 4 pillars of DBT?

Maxi is absolutely amazing! She has really helped me open up and look a little deeper at some of my 'issues'. I'm so happy I finally decided to get help again.

Dreatha has been wonderful. Very professional but warm and open, with great insights and suggestions, and the ability to make me think about situations or feelings in an objective way while offering various views. Always supportive and made me feel heard. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who could use the support and assistance. She's the only therapist I've ever worked with, but she has to be one of the best!
