Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach originally developed to help people build practical skills for managing intense emotions, relationships, and stress.
Many people searching for "DBT therapy" are really looking to learn DBT skills in a structured, supportive way. That's exactly what we do.
DBT Path teaches the same evidence-based DBT skills used in clinical settings, delivered as live, online classes in an educational format.
For emotionally sensitive individuals, online DBT skills classes remove the barriers that make traditional group therapy overwhelming. At DBT Path, you learn evidence-based DBT skills in a private, lecture-style format with no pressure to speak, share, or turn on your camera. The benefits students value most are:
Because DBT Path is structured, skills-only education rather than group processing, you get proven strategies to regulate intense emotions without the social pressure that can overwhelm a sensitive nervous system.
Create the Life You Want
Learn how to stop acting impulsively, spiraling emotionally, self-sabotaging, and experiencing angry outbursts, so past trauma no longer takes the wheel and you can respond more intentionally.
Create & Keep Healthy Relationships
Learn how to cope with fears of abandonment and rejection, jealousy, trust issues, and fear of intimacy, as well as black-and-white thinking or splitting, so relationships feel steadier and less overwhelming.
Enjoy the Benefits of Online Learning
Enjoy the convenience of learning from home. Live classes are recorded each week so you can learn at your own pace, in a private, online setting, with a reputable program that’s been trusted since 2013.
Your enrollment includes live weekly classes (Mondays, 4 PM Pacific, 60 minutes, recorded so you can watch anytime), taught in a private, lecture-style format with cameras off during class. You also get a private 24/7 Study Hall with personalized written feedback on your practice each week, optional global group chats, and optional bonus workshops at no extra cost (Wise Mind Workshop, Somatics with Serena, Radical Resting, and DBT & Tea).
