It may be overwhelming, as anxiety: racing thoughts, chest tightness, and the sense of being out of control may grab at the most incredible time. In the Integrative Counseling Center, we know the extent to which anxiety influences the everyday life. Dialectical behavior therapy for anxiety which is one of the most powerful therapy approaches, is one of the best means to deal with these symptoms and make individuals master their emotions and reactions.

What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy of Anxiety?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy was initially created to treat emotional disorders, although with time it has proved to be very effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders. DBT is a combination of acceptance-based approach and skills focused on changes, which can assist the clients to become more resilient and better respond to stress.

·         In dialectical behavior therapy of anxiety, the clients are taught four critical skills areas:

·         Mindfulness: Remaining in the here and now

·         Distress Tolerance: Managing emotional crisis without self-destructive actions

·         Emotion Regulation: Detection and control of employee emotion intensity

·         Interpersonal Effectiveness: The communicating of the needs clearly and the healthy relationships

·         Such skills enable individuals to take charge, to lower panic reaction, and form emotional equilibrium

·         Combinational DBT and Other Modalities

We do not subscribe to blanket therapy at Integrative Counseling Center. DBT is effective, but most clients can be helped even better when it is combined. EMDR cognitive behavioral therapy is one method that can be used in conjunction with DBT to deal with underlying trauma, reprocess challenging memories and redefine dysfunctional thought processes.

The multiple-level approach enables the clients to realize a long-term change, which considers the emotional and physiological causes of anxiety.

It matters about the therapist that a person finds

To most clients, in particular those who want to find a therapist who can comprehend cultural setting, cultural identity, and lived experience, choosing to work with a Black male therapist can be a very legitimizing and empowering option. In our abode of Integrative Counseling Center we have a variety of clinicians that introduce professional skills and cultural sensitivity to the therapeutic environment.

We believe that trust, safety, and meaningful connection are ideals in the therapy field, which is why you can either find a therapist who shares your identity, or a specialist in the field training in DBT, EMDR, or anxiety treatment.
