CBT/DBT Associates Core Services In Helping Their Clients

CBT Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a highly researched type of talk therapy that therapists use to treat or manage mental health conditions and emotional concerns. 

Unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, along with problematic core beliefs, contribute to psychological issues. By learning more effective coping strategies, individuals experiencing these issues can alleviate symptoms and enhance their mental and emotional well-being.

The duration of cognitive behavioral therapy typically spans from 12 to 20 sessions, but it may differ due to the uniqueness of each individual and the complexity of mental health conditions.

DBT Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral treatment that aims to help individuals who have not responded well to other therapy models. A combination of problem-solving and acceptance-based strategies is utilized within a framework of dialectical methods that bring together opposing concepts, such as change and acceptance. DBT has a distinctive feature of emphasizing acceptance of a patient’s experience to help dbt therapists provide reassurance and balance the effort required to modify negative behaviors.

The 5 essentially crucial skills training modules including mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and walking the middle path, are taught to participants in weekly meetings.

Standard comprehensive DBT has four parts:

• Group Skills Training
• Individual Therapy
• Phone Coaching

Mindfulness Therapy

Mindfulness involves being conscious of one’s internal thoughts, emotions, and external surroundings without resorting to automatic responses such as stress or judgment. Mindfulness therapy is a form of talk therapy or psychotherapy, which is an intervention based on conversations between a mindfulness therapist and the client. Its purpose is to evaluate, diagnose, and manage dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors.
