Individual DBT therapy at Suffolk DBT follows the full, evidence-based structure of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Treatment is not improvised or insight-only — it is organized, intentional, and collaborative.
Individual sessions include:
While you may meet weekly with one primary DBT therapist, your care is supported by our DBT consultation team. Therapists work together behind the scenes to maintain fidelity to the DBT model and ensure consistent, high-quality care.
You are not doing this alone and we are in it together.
Individual DBT therapy sessions are active, structured, and focused on change. Each week, your therapist works with you to understand what is getting in the way and how to respond differently using DBT skills.
Sessions typically include:
Weekly 45 minute individual DBT sessions
Review of diary cards to monitor emotions, urges, and behaviors
Behavioral chain analysis to understand patterns and build alternatives
Skills selection tailored to current challenges
Ongoing goal-setting and progress monitoring
Individual DBT therapy is appropriate for children, teens, adults , and families who struggle with emotional dysregulation, intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, self-harm urges, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, trauma, or ongoing relationship difficulties.
Many clients come to Long Island DBT Therapy after years of therapy that focused on insight without lasting change. DBT is different, it is skills-based, structured, and focused on helping people build lives that feel more stable and manageable.
Individual DBT therapy is most effective when offered as part of a comprehensive DBT program. At Suffolk DBT, individual therapy works in coordination with our DBT skills group and between-session skills coaching, alongside consultation team support.
