Practical tools for emotional wellness, grounded in evidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are structured, goal-oriented approaches that focus on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These therapies are especially helpful when you’re looking for tools to manage overwhelming emotions, anxious thinking, or relationship stress.
What is CBT & DBT?
CBT helps you notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns that influence how you feel and act. It’s about identifying what’s not working—and practicing new ways of thinking and responding.
DBT is an extension of CBT that includes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Originally developed for intense emotional experiences, DBT-informed therapy is now widely used to help clients feel more balanced and in control.
