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?

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 Colorado, CO 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?

I really appreciate how I feel that my provider really tries to connect with me and see me as a person rather than simply 'someone with problems to fix'. I feel like we get along really well and that helps the process.

My therapist is very open, kind, non judgemental, fair, honest, upfront, goal oriented = CLIENTS goals- oriented, very good with asking if it's something I want help with or not, instead of forcing an area I'm not ready to go, knowledgeable, knows her resources at hand and gives information needed in the moment, very timely referrals, very patient with me- i can be a bit of a chatterbox going way of topic & coming back around on the longest most unneeded detailed & unnecessary information giving as possible. Lisa Ferrante is literally in the top 2 very best therapists I've ever had in birth adult and childhood lifetime of therapists- and trust me when i say I've had a SLEW of therapists!!!
