Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Do your emotions sometimes feel bigger than you can handle?
If your feelings come on fast and strong, you may feel out of control, overwhelmed, or exhausted by your reactions. You might know what you want to say or do, but in the moment your emotions take over. This does not mean something is wrong with you. It means you need support and practical tools.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, was created to help people who experience intense emotions learn how to cope in healthier ways. DBT focuses on building skills so life feels more manageable and relationships feel more stable.
At Practical Solutions Counseling, PLLC, DBT is offered in individual therapy and group settings. Both options provide support, understanding, and tools you can use in everyday life.
You May Be Experiencing
- Strong emotional reactions that feel hard to control
- Anxiety, anger, or sadness that rises quickly
- Relationship struggles or fear of being left
- Feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or emotionally reactive
- Impulsive choices followed by regret
- A desire for calm without losing who you are
How DBT Helps
DBT is not about changing who you are. It is about learning how to manage emotions so they do not manage you. DBT helps you accept yourself while also learning skills that reduce stress and emotional pain.
In DBT, you will learn how to:
- Calm your body and mind when emotions feel intense
- Handle stress without making things worse
- Understand your emotions instead of being controlled by them
- Communicate more clearly and set healthy boundaries
- Stay present instead of reacting automatically
Individual and Group DBT
Individual DBT therapy focuses on your personal goals and helps you apply skills to real-life situations.
DBT groups focus on learning and practicing skills in a supportive environment. You are not required to share personal details. Group helps many people realize they are not alone and that change is possible.
You Can Learn New Skills
Feeling deeply is not a weakness. With the right tools, emotions can become more manageable. DBT helps you build a life that feels more balanced, steady, and worth living.
You do not have to do this alone.
We provide a respectful and supportive space where you can learn skills, grow in confidence, and create meaningful change at your own pace.
