Dialectical Behavior TherapyFrom Overwhelm to Empowerment
At Walls Counseling, we know some days can feel like your emotions are in overdrive. Maybe your emotions take over before you can stop them. You might find yourself reacting quickly, shutting down, or feeling constantly on edge. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you find balance, so you can manage emotions, navigate stress, and build stronger, more stable relationships.
Learning Skills That Bring Real Change
When life feels chaotic or overwhelming, DBT helps bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It offers practical, hands-on tools to help you manage intense emotions, handle stress more effectively, communicate with clarity, and stay grounded in challenging moments. Over time, these skills help you feel more in control, confident, and connected to what truly matters to you.
Building Emotional Strength Through Core DBT Skills
In DBT sessions, we focus on four key skill areas that work together to support emotional health and balance:
Distress Tolerance – Finding ways to get through painful emotions and situations without making them worse.Emotion Regulation–Understanding your emotions, what they mean, and how to respond in healthier ways.Interpersonal Effectiveness – Building stronger, more balanced relationships and setting clear, respectful boundaries.Mindfulness – Learning to stay present and aware of what’s happening in the moment without judgment.
Each skill builds on the others, helping you handle life’s challenges with more stability and confidence.
