Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based, skills-focused approach that helps you manage overwhelming emotions, reduce self-destructive patterns, and build steadier relationships. At Therapy Utah in Lehi, many of our clinicians are trained in DBT.
What DBT Helps With
DBT was developed for people who feel emotions intensely. It’s well-supported for difficulty regulating emotions, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, impulsivity, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship conflict.
The Four DBT Skill Areas
- Mindfulness — staying present instead of being swept away by emotion.
- Distress tolerance — getting through crises without making them worse.
- Emotion regulation — understanding and shifting intense feelings.
- Interpersonal effectiveness — asking for what you need and setting boundaries.
