Who DBT can help
A DBT therapist can help when you have a hard time finding balance with your mental health. A mental health specialist may recommend dialectical behavioral therapy if you struggle with:
- Impulsive behaviors
- Having a regulated mood
- Self-harming thoughts, urges, or behaviors
- Conflicts in your relationships
- Trauma-related symptoms
- Anxiety and depression
Still not sure if DBT is right? Ask yourself these questions:
- Do I act too quickly and later regret it?
- Is it hard to calm down when I get upset?
- Do my emotions create tension with my loved ones?
- Do even small challenges feel impossible?
Core DBT skills you’ll learn
There are four key skills that dialectical behavior therapy teaches.
Mindfulness
Learn to live in the present moment and be more aware of your thoughts and feelings. Practicing mindfulness can reduce stress, which improves overall well-being.
Caught yourself replaying the stressful conversation you had at work? Mindfulness can help you recognize when you’re tense and thoughts are spiraling. Taking time to notice that you’re overwhelmed gives you space to pause instead of reacting without thinking.
Distress tolerance
Get through stressful challenges without resorting to self-harm, substance use, disordered eating, or other unhealthy coping mechanisms.
It’s not always easy to know when you’re stressed, even when you’re mindful. It is, however, easier to notice when you’re coping. Rather than giving in to urges to your regular vice, you can put your energy into something constructive until you calm down.
Emotional regulation
Manage emotions by identifying, understanding, and regulating them. Better emotional regulation can reduce impulsive behaviors.
Anger and frustration are often just energy without direction. You might just be hurt, tired, anxious, or even hungry. Labeling and validating how you truly feel can bring you more balance, without so many ups and downs.
Interpersonal effectiveness
Improve communication and relationship-building skills. Being able to connect with others and feel connected improves quality of life.
You can express yourself, calmly and clearly, with those closest to you. Instead of shutting down or blowing up, you get your point across, which lets your relationships grow deeper and stronger than ever before.

FAQs about DBT in Massachusetts
How long does DBT take?
Some clients benefit from several months of DBT skills work, while others continue longer to strengthen and apply those skills in daily life. Because our programs are outpatient, you can get meaningful, structured care without putting work, family, or other responsibilities on hold.
Is DBT only for borderline personality disorder (BPD)?
No. While DBT was originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, it’s now widely used to help people who struggle with emotional intensity, stress reactivity, impulsive behaviors, and relationship challenges.
Do you offer DBT skills groups or group therapy?
Yes. DBT skills are primarily delivered through group therapy at Rockland Recovery Behavioral Health. Group-based DBT allows clients to learn and practice skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness in a supportive, real-world setting.
Can DBT help with anxiety or depression?
Yes. DBT skills can be very effective for people experiencing anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Many clients struggle not just with their emotions, but with how overwhelming or hard to manage those emotions feel. DBT teaches skills to calm the nervous system, reduce emotional spirals, and respond more intentionally, rather than feeling stuck in cycles of avoidance, shutdown, or reactivity.
Is DBT evidence-based?
Yes. Dialectical behavior therapy is an evidence-based treatment supported by decades of clinical research. DBT skills have been shown to improve emotional regulation, reduce harmful coping behaviors, and strengthen relationships.
Do you accept insurance? How does payment work?
Rockland Recovery Behavioral Health works with many insurance providers, and coverage can vary depending on your plan and level of care. Our admissions team can help you verify benefits, explain your options, and walk you through any out-of-pocket costs before you begin.
