At Full Vida Therapy, we offer DBT-informed therapy online to clients across Orange County and Throughout California.

What Is DBT?

DBT was originally developed to support individuals with intense emotional sensitivity, but it’s now widely used for many mental health concerns. It combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with mindfulness and acceptance practices to help clients manage emotions, build coping skills, and improve interpersonal relationships.

DBT Can Help With:

  • Emotion dysregulation

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Self-harm or suicidal ideation

  • Impulsive behaviors

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

  • Intense relationship patterns

  • Chronic shame or inner criticism

What to Expect in DBT Therapy:

In DBT-informed therapy, you’ll work with your therapist to:

  • Develop practical coping tools to manage distress in the moment

  • Learn how to balance acceptance with change

  • Build communication and boundary-setting skills

  • Practice mindfulness to stay grounded and reduce reactivity

While we don’t offer full DBT group programs, we integrate DBT principles into individual sessions to help you build insight and emotional control.
