It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. DBT focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify what matters and set small reachable goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Connie will work collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
