Comprehensive, full-model DBT in Albany for children, teens, adults, college students, and families who want real skills for managing emotions, relationships, and stress
Suffolk DBT provides specialized Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) services to individuals, teens, adults, and families across New York State, including clients in the Albany area. While services for Albany residents are offered through secure telehealth, care is delivered by New York–based, licensed clinicians who work together as a true DBT consultation team.
Accessing a comprehensive DBT program in Upstate New York can be challenging. Many areas have limited availability, long waitlists, or fragmented care that does not include all components of DBT. Rather than requiring clients to search extensively or travel long distances, Suffolk DBT brings the full DBT model directly to you. Our program includes individual therapy, DBT skills groups, skills coaching between sessions, and family involvement when appropriate—all provided remotely, but with the same structure, collaboration, and consistency as in-person care.
Our clinicians are trained in full-model DBT and work closely together to ensure thoughtful, coordinated treatment tailored to each client’s emotional needs, life circumstances, and goals. This team-based approach offers a higher level of accountability and continuity than large, rotating virtual platforms, allowing clients to build real therapeutic relationships over time.
While our team is physically based in the downstate area, we are all New Yorkers. Suffolk DBT’s founder and practice owner, Jeanette Lorandini, LCSW, grew up in St. Lawrence County and attended SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Potsdam. She understands the strength, beauty, and resilience of Upstate communities—and believes deeply that they deserve the same level of high-quality, ethical, evidence-based care available in Long Island and New York City.
With more than 15 years of experience, Suffolk DBT has earned a strong reputation for quality treatment throughout New York State. By offering expert DBT care to the Albany community through telehealth, we help expand access to specialized services while maintaining the integrity, structure, and human connection that comprehensive DBT requires.
At Suffolk DBT in Albany, we understand that when one family member is struggling, the entire family feels it.

Through skills-based therapy, families learn practical tools for regulation, communication, and repair—so home can begin to feel calmer, more predictable, and more supportive for everyone involved.
