Looking for a brief, effective therapy approach in Raleigh or Durham that can help you cope with difficult situations? Join our virtual DBT Skills Group for Adults, an online therapy group that meets every Thursday starting September 10, 2026 from 4 PM-5:30 PM.
What is DBT?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) helps people manage intense emotions and interpersonal conflict. It is a structured treatment that typically lasts for several months, and is especially effective for people with Borderline Personality Disorder, OCD, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD), and people who need help coping with difficult situations.
how does it work?
Our North Carolina DBT Skills Group is an online weekly counseling group run like an interactive class. You'll learn skills across four main topics: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance.
- Mindfulness is designed to teach members how to focus their mind and attention on the present moment, instead of anxious thoughts about the future.
- Distress Tolerance is centered on accepting the current situation and finding ways to survive and tolerate the moment without engaging in problematic behavior.
- Emotional Regulation Skills include learning to identify and label current emotions, identifying obstacles to changing emotions, reducing emotional reactivity, increasing positive emotions, and changing emotions.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills teach members effective strategies for asking for what one needs, saying no, and coping with interpersonal conflict.
Group members practice the skills taught during each weekly lesson with homework assignments, reinforcing their confidence and abilities to deal with discomfort in daily life.
