Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is helpful for identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. It’s especially supportive for people who feel emotions intensely, struggle with impulsivity, or want tools to navigate conflict and overwhelming feelings.

Problem-Focused Therapy (PFT) helps a person directly address the stressor. It’s useful for developing clear strategies such as identifying the root of a problem, brainstorming solutions, evaluating options, and creating an action plan.

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) centers on a person’s strengths, resources, and future goals. SFT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that highlights what’s already working and helps move toward meaningful change.
