Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a structured form of psychotherapy that integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness principles to help individuals manage emotional dysregulation and interpersonal challenges.  DBT aims to teach clients skills in four primary areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The approach emphasizes the importance of balancing acceptance and change, encouraging clients to accept their current situation while also working toward positive change.
