Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) isn’t just about learning skills in a group or therapy session—it’s about applying them in real life. But what happens when you’re faced with a stressful situation and aren’t sure what to do? That’s where DBT phone coaching comes in.
What Is DBT Phone Coaching?
DBT phone coaching is a unique and valuable tool designed to help you bridge the gap between learning skills and actually using them when you need them most. If you’re enrolled in our DBT program, you have access to 24/7 support—a brief phone call with your therapist to guide you through difficult moments and help you apply DBT skills in real time.
Think of it as having a supportive voice reminding you that you’re not alone and that you have the tools to navigate challenges effectively.
When Should You Reach Out for DBT Phone Coaching?
DBT phone coaching is meant to be brief, skills-focused, and solution-oriented. Some common reasons clients call include:
- Feeling overwhelmed and unsure which DBT skill to use
- Struggling to apply skills during high-stress situations
- Needing help to prevent impulsive or destructive behaviors
- Wanting to celebrate a success—yes, that’s encouraged too!
What DBT Phone Coaching Is Not
While phone coaching is a powerful resource, it’s important to understand its purpose. It is not:
- A substitute for full therapy sessions
- A space for long discussions, problem-solving, or storytelling
- A time for venting or complaining without focusing on solutions
Why Phone Coaching Matters
We know that learning new skills is one thing—but using them when emotions run high is another. DBT phone coaching is here to empower you, helping you build confidence in applying DBT skills when it counts the most.
