DBT and CBT Approaches for Online Emotional Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. In practical, goal-focused work, CBT teaches skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving obstacles that interfere with daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is particularly helpful for those who experience intense emotions or difficulty managing impulses, offering structured tools to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
