This approach is useful for working through family stress, identity questions, and parenting worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers clear exercises and homework that can help with anxiety, depression and impulse control in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and better communication. Those skills are practical for anger, relationship conflicts and overwhelming stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit those goals. You and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together.
