What Is DBT Therapy?

DBT therapy stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). It is a type of talk therapy that helps people control their feelings, solve problems, and have better relationships. DBT was created by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the 1980s. At first, it was made for people with borderline personality disorder, but now it helps with many mental health and addiction problems. DBT therapy teaches skills that help people stay calm, make safe choices, and cope with stress. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, therapy like DBT can reduce mood swings, anxiety, and risky behaviors.

DBT therapy is different from other therapies because it teaches real skills that people can use in daily life. Clients meet with a therapist for one-on-one sessions. They also join group sessions to practice skills with others. Phone coaching is sometimes offered for extra support when feelings are very strong. This way, people can get help when they need it most.

DBT therapy is useful for many problems, including addiction, depression, anxiety, and trauma. SAMHSA says DBT works best when it is part of a program that treats both mental health and addiction. This type of therapy helps people feel safer, make better choices, and improve their lives. At We Level Up NJ, DBT therapy is given by trained therapists who care about helping people succeed.

After the assessment, clients join individual therapy sessions. In these sessions, they learn skills to stay calm, handle strong feelings, and solve problems. They practice ways to make better choices when they feel upset or stressed. Clients also join group therapy sessions. Groups give a safe place to practice skills with others.
