What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a set of strategies used by therapists to assist individuals in improving emotional regulation and social interactions. Mindfulness, present moment awareness, and non-judgmental acceptance of thoughts and emotions are key strategies.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

Skills taught in DBT include interpersonal skills, such as positive communication skills for self-advocacy and setting boundaries; skills to identify, name, and manage intense emotions; and distress tolerance skills to adapt and cope with challenges and crises in order to increase resilience.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy?

Meaningful progress is evident in therapy as the list of progress and successes gets longer and the list of challenges gets shorter.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients' efforts to implement the skills they are learning and the goals that they set between sessions are essential to making progress in therapy.

What should someone do to prepare for starting dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients can prepare for therapy by thinking about what they want to achieve, in addition to what it is they want to move away from.

I have been working with Dr. Covey for almost 6 months now and she has been excellent. I feel like I am heard and understood even when I have a hard time expressing things myself and putting thoughts into words. Having someone who can actually listen and provide the resources to assist myself with past trauma and current challenges has been a life changer.
