It offers practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can help people who struggle with intense feelings, impulsive behaviors, or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as needs change.
