It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. It can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping when life feels overwhelming.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own goals and strengthen motivation to make changes. This collaborative, nonjudgmental approach supports readiness for steps like improving self-care or addressing patterns that no longer serve someone.
