What it is
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that combines acceptance-based strategies with practical behavior-change skills.
What it may address
DBT skills may be useful when intense emotions, impulsive behavior, self-harm risk, relationship instability, or difficulty tolerating distress are part of the clinical picture.
What to expect
Clients may practice mindfulness, emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal-effectiveness skills in individual or group settings.
How CCC uses it
CCC uses DBT-informed skills within individualized treatment plans when they match the person’s assessed needs and risks.
