Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce impulsive behaviors. At The Talking Corner, we offer DBT therapy in California and Los Angeles, providing virtual sessions that support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, mood swings, self-harm, or emotional dysregulation.
The word “dialectical” means learning to hold two truths at once—accepting yourself as you are while working toward positive change. Through DBT therapy, you’ll learn practical, life-changing skills in four key areas:
Mindfulness – staying grounded and present in the moment
Distress Tolerance – navigating emotional pain without harmful coping behaviors
Emotion Regulation – understanding, naming, and managing overwhelming feelings
Interpersonal Effectiveness – improving communication and building healthier relationships
Our licensed DBT therapists in California provide structured, supportive, and compassionate care to help you build confidence, emotional stability, and resilience. Whether in-person or through virtual DBT therapy, we’ll help you create a balanced, meaningful life aligned with your goals and values.
