Schedule an appointment with a DBT/CBT Therapist in River North, Chicago
DBT and CBT are both types of behavioral therapy that utilize psychotherapy, or talk therapy, to help individuals change their thoughts and associated behavior patterns. CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is used to teach patients about the influence that our thoughts have on our behavior choices and habits. DBT, which stands for dialectical behavior therapy, is a type of CBT which specifically refers to teaching patients how to regulate their emotions by coping with their stress in healthy ways. Finding a therapist who is trained in both CBT and DBT is beneficial for individuals who are looking to receive counseling in understanding the connection between their thoughts and behaviors.
