Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is particularly helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions or volatile relationships and who benefit from structured skills practice.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's own goals and pace, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist reflects and supports self-directed growth. This approach can help individuals build self-awareness, self-esteem, and clearer decision-making.
