Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) | MindSpark Counseling

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals regulate their emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build stronger relationships. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used to treat anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, and emotional instability.

DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change — helping clients accept themselves while also encouraging them to make positive changes. It combines individual therapy sessions, group skills training, and mindfulness techniques to foster emotional balance and self-control. The therapy emphasizes four key areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

At MindSpark Counseling, our trained professionals guide clients in mastering these core skills to handle emotional challenges effectively. Whether you struggle with anger, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts, DBT provides practical tools to regain control over your emotions and lead a calmer, more meaningful life.
