What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (dbt)?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan for treating borderline personality disorder. Today, DBT is recognized as one of the most effective treatments for emotion regulation difficulties, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and other conditions involving intense emotional experiences.
At Empathy Health Clinic in Orlando, our DBT-trained therapists help you develop skills to manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, tolerate distress without destructive behaviors, and create a life worth living. DBT combines the change-focused strategies of CBT with acceptance-based mindfulness practices, creating a balanced approach to healing.
Whether you're struggling with intense mood swings, impulsive behaviors, chronic feelings of emptiness, or relationship difficulties, DBT therapy provides concrete skills you can use immediately. We offer both individual DBT therapy and skills groups in our Orlando office, as well as telehealth options throughout Florida.

The Four DBT Skill Modules
Mindfulness
Learn to be fully present in the moment, observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, and develop awareness of your inner experience. Mindfulness is the foundation of all DBT skills.
Distress Tolerance
Develop skills to survive crisis situations without making them worse. Learn techniques like TIPP, radical acceptance, and self-soothing to tolerate painful emotions without resorting to harmful behaviors.
Emotion Regulation
Understand and name your emotions, reduce emotional vulnerability, and learn to change unwanted emotions. Build a life with more positive emotional experiences and resilience.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Improve relationships by learning to ask for what you need, say no effectively, and maintain self-respect. Navigate interpersonal conflict while keeping relationships and achieving your goals.
Individual DBT Therapy
One-on-one sessions with a DBT-trained therapist to apply skills to your specific challenges, work through difficult situations, and create a life worth living with personalized treatment planning.
Telehealth DBT Sessions
Access DBT therapy from anywhere in Florida through our secure telehealth platform. Research shows DBT skills can be effectively taught and practiced via video sessions with the same outcomes as in-person treatment.
