Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of therapy that is a powerful tool for people with many mental health conditions who feel negative emotions more quickly, frequently, and intensely. It’s designed to help people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship challenges, or impulsive behaviors build healthier coping and conflict resolution strategies as well as emotional stability. Many people who practice DBT consistently say it’s been the most impactful tool for easing emotional pain and building stronger emotional regulation, leading to greater emotional balance and more positive day-to-day experiences.
DBT combines mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help individuals reduce reactivity, strengthen communication, and increase self-awareness over time.

At Grouport, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used to support a wide range of mental health conditions. Here’s how DBT helps with some of the most common concerns:
Originally developed for BPD, DBT is considered the most effective treatment for it. DBT addresses the emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, relationship conflict, and fear of abandonment often associated with BPD. Core DBT skills teach clients how to manage emotional intensity, communicate needs effectively, and navigate relationships with more stability.
DBT equips individuals with mindfulness techniques and distress tolerance skills that reduce overthinking, rumination, and physical symptoms of anxiety. By increasing emotional regulation and present-moment awareness, clients learn how to pause before reacting and challenge anxious thoughts more effectively.
DBT helps those with depression develop skills to manage intense emotional lows, increase motivation through behavioral activation, and strengthen interpersonal connections. It also targets hopelessness by fostering daily structure, emotional balance, and self-validation.
DBT helps trauma survivors manage overwhelming emotional responses without resorting to avoidance or self-destructive behaviors. It provides practical tools for emotion regulation and grounding, and prepares individuals for additional trauma work (like prolonged exposure or EMDR) if needed.
For those with bipolar disorder, DBT supports emotion regulation and helps manage impulsivity during manic or hypomanic episodes. Skills like mindfulness and distress tolerance can ease transitions between mood states and improve coping during depressive cycles.
DBT helps with emotional impulsivity, poor frustration tolerance, and difficulty managing time or tasks—challenges commonly experienced by those with ADHD. Clients build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and more adaptive ways to respond to distractions or overwhelm.
DBT is widely used to reduce self-harming behaviors and thoughts of suicide by teaching safer coping alternatives, improving emotional stability, and building a sense of meaning and purpose. It provides clients with tools to ride out emotional waves without turning to self-destructive responses.
DBT helps individuals with eating disorders manage urges, regulate emotions tied to food, and reduce harmful coping mechanisms like restriction, bingeing, or purging. By increasing distress tolerance and self-acceptance, DBT provides tools to interrupt disordered behaviors, improve body awareness, and build a more compassionate relationship with food and self.
For those struggling with substance use, DBT offers strategies to tolerate distress without turning to substances, regulate emotions that trigger cravings, and improve impulse control. It also supports long-term recovery by helping clients identify triggers, strengthen values-based decision-making, and repair relationships impacted by substance use.
DBT is helpful for many other mental health conditions and life challenges as well. Its skills-based structure makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, or enhance overall mindfulness and self-awareness.
