At Bridge to Balance in Piscataway, New Jersey, we regularly see individuals and families who are navigating overwhelming emotions, stress, and trauma. One of our preferred methods to employ during these sessions is dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or general mood instability, DBT can arm you with tools to cope, heal, and grow. Our unique approach combines clinical expertise with compassionate care, giving you structured support to regain stability.

What Is DBT, and How Does It Work?

DBT is a research-backed method that blends mindfulness with behavioral strategies. Originally developed to help individuals with intense emotions, it has since been widely used in general counseling. Sessions mainly focus on four key areas:

• Mindfulness
• Distress tolerance
• Emotional regulation
• Interpersonal effectiveness

DBT focuses on balancing acceptance of current experiences with strategies to create meaningful change, empowering clients to respond to life’s challenges more effectively.

What to Expect During Sessions With a DBT Therapist

A typical DBT program usually involves individual therapy sessions with structured skills training. During sessions, you’ll work with a clinician to address your specific concerns and apply DBT skills in real-life situations. Over time, you will experience fewer emotional outbursts and more stable relationships thanks to stronger coping mechanisms.
