DBT Therapy in Lehi, Utah
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based, skills-focused approach that helps you manage overwhelming emotions, ease self-destructive patterns, and build steadier relationships. At Therapy Utah in Lehi, many of our clinicians are trained in DBT.
What DBT helps with
If your emotions feel bigger and faster than everyone else’s seem to, you’re not broken — and you’re not alone.
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. Rather than just talking about the hard moments, you’ll walk away with concrete tools you can use right away.
Many people pair DBT with individual therapy so they can practice new skills one-on-one, and some build on them in our therapy groups. You can see everything we offer on our therapy services page.
The four DBT skill areas
DBT is built around four skill sets that work together. Here’s what each one helps you do.
Mindfulness
Staying present instead of being swept away by emotion — noticing what’s happening before you react to it.
Distress tolerance
Getting through a crisis without making it worse, so a hard moment doesn’t turn into a harder week.
Emotion regulation
Understanding and shifting intense feelings, so emotions inform your choices instead of running them.
Interpersonal effectiveness
Asking for what you need and setting boundaries, while keeping the relationships that matter to you intact.
