What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy developed to treat individuals experiencing severe emotional distress. It combines strategies of acceptance and change, teaching clients to embrace their experiences while working toward positive behavioral changes. DBT focuses on four key skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through individual therapy, clients learn to manage emotions, cope with stress, and improve relationships. This comprehensive approach aims to help individuals build a life worth living.
