Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Arielle will work with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans as needed. This means clients help shape which tools and approaches are emphasized during sessions.
