Mindfulness
Notice thoughts, emotions and what is happening in the moment. Mindfulness skills can help you pause before reacting.
DBT combines acceptance with practical steps toward change. Nao Medical offers virtual DBT therapy across New York. Speak with the care team about your concerns and the available treatment format.
Notice thoughts, emotions and what is happening in the moment. Mindfulness skills can help you pause before reacting.
Learn to recognize emotions and patterns that affect them. Discuss ways to respond more deliberately when emotions become intense.
Build ways to get through difficult moments without making the situation worse. Your clinician can explain which skills fit your circumstances.
Practice asking for what you need, setting boundaries and managing disagreements while considering your relationships and self-respect.
Individual therapy that uses DBT skills and a comprehensive DBT program can involve different services. Comprehensive programs typically include individual therapy, skills groups and coaching between sessions, supported by a clinician consultation team.
Before starting with Nao, ask which components your care includes, who provides them and what support is available between appointments. Do not assume a DBT appointment includes groups or coaching. If you need a specific program, ask the team to confirm whether it can meet that need.
DBT has been studied for conditions involving difficulties with emotion regulation, including borderline personality disorder. A clinical assessment is needed to understand your concerns and recommend appropriate treatment.
Tell your clinician about previous diagnoses, self-harm, recent crises, substance use and treatment history when relevant. Routine virtual appointments may not provide the level of support needed for every situation. Discuss a safety plan and how to get urgent help.
Explain what happened, how you felt and what you would like to handle differently. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis.
Confirm the available format, clinician, frequency and expectations for practice between visits.

CBT broadly works with thoughts, emotions and behavior. DBT is a form of cognitive behavioral treatment that places particular emphasis on acceptance, mindfulness, managing emotions, tolerating distress and relationships.
No. You can ask about DBT based on your concerns. A clinician should assess your needs and explain whether DBT or another approach is appropriate.
Between-session coaching is not automatically included in every therapy service. Confirm the contact policy and urgent-care plan with your clinician before treatment begins.
