Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship patterns, and self-directed criticism, offering concrete strategies to improve day-to-day functioning.
