Starting Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

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?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. 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?

The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.

Is DBT better than EMDR?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Is DBT conducted in person or online?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Cedar Rapids, IA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many months is DBT?

The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.

What I appreciate the most is my counselor Catherine Dilger, she has made me have such a good experience going through my mental health journey. In terms of thriveworks itself, I have appreciated so much how easy it was to book my first session and how easy it has been to use the interface online and continue having sessions.

Ashley Collins is incredible. I recommend her to everyone. Her knowledge of how the human brain works regarding anxiety is brilliant. I've been seeing her monthly for almost 3 years and want to continue for the rest of my life. She's taught me how to recognize my anxiety and work inside it to manage, cope, and lesson the occurrence. I'm genuinely so happy and grateful to have found her.

I really enjoy my therapist. She's really informative and she listens to everything I need to talk about. I think I need to be open more to my own self or pass problems, but anything that I've asked to talk about. She's always tried to find ways to find a solution or, find a way to help me let go of the things that trouble me. By the way, her name is Danyel.
