Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and other mood disorders, DBT has since been adapted to treat a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and self-harming behaviors. DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change, helping individuals acknowledge their emotions while also learning how to regulate them in a productive way. Through structured techniques, individuals gain the skills needed to build a more stable and fulfilling life.

One of the core components of DBT is its focus on four key skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. By practicing these skills in therapy and daily life, individuals can gain more control over their emotional responses and interactions with others.
