At Of Vineyards and Canopies Therapy Services, we understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can be. Struggling with intense emotions, maintaining relationships, or handling stress might leave you feeling stuck. That’s where Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can make a difference.

DBT has transformed countless lives by equipping individuals with tools for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. With our commitment to compassionate care and the convenience of online mental health therapy, you can now access DBT in a way that fits seamlessly into your life.

This blog will help you understand the basics of dialectical behavioral therapy, how it works in an online setting, and what you can expect when you begin your journey with us.

What Is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy?

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a specialized type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) designed to help individuals struggling with emotional regulation, interpersonal conflicts, and crisis management.

Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has been proven effective for treating various mental health concerns, including:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Bipolar disorder

• Eating disorders

  
  

At Of Vineyards and Canopies, we use DBT to empower our clients to balance self-acceptance with meaningful change, helping them achieve emotional stability and better relationships.

Core Components of DBT

DBT focuses on four key skills that help clients navigate life’s challenges with greater ease:

1. Emotional Regulation

DBT teaches you how to understand and manage your emotions, reducing the intensity of overwhelming feelings. This skill helps you build resilience and respond to situations calmly.

2. Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the moment. DBT mindfulness skills help you stay grounded, reduce impulsive behaviors, and develop a deeper awareness of your emotions and thoughts.

3. Interpersonal Effectiveness

Building and maintaining healthy relationships is a critical component of DBT. You’ll learn how to communicate assertively, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts constructively.

4. Distress Tolerance

DBT equips you with tools to cope with stress and crises without resorting to harmful behaviors. This includes self-soothing techniques and strategies to accept and tolerate distress.

Our therapists provide crisis coaching between sessions to help you navigate challenging moments using DBT techniques. This ensures you always have access to support when you need it most.

How DBT Changes Lives

Dialectical behavioral therapy is grounded in research and has been shown to deliver life-changing results:

• A study in NAMI found that 77% of people who completed DBT no longer met the criteria for borderline personality disorder.

  
  

• Research indicates significant reductions in emotional dysregulation, self-harm behaviors, and relationship conflicts among DBT participants.
