DBT Path is a small, founder-led program, not a big tech platform, and we're the original online DBT skills class, running since 2013. Every class is taught by founder Debbie DeMarco Bennett, MA, in recovery from BPD and cPTSD, alongside Dr. Kathryn Holt, PhD, LCSW. We regularly receive referrals from therapists and psychiatrists who trust our long-standing reputation, though a referral is never required to enroll. ✓Well over a decade of experience, fully committed to trauma-informed online DBT skills education. ✕Other programs are often newly launched or startup-driven, with a limited long-term track record. ✓Every class is taught by Debbie and Dr. Kathryn Holt, PhD, LCSW, building trust, safety, and continuity. ✕Others often rely on rotating contract coaches, which can mean inconsistent teaching. ✓Professionally designed lessons with clear visuals and examples, taught live and available for replay. ✕Others frequently use unedited, unstructured Zoom lectures or casual group calls. ✓No student video and no forced sharing, just a calm, focused learning space. ✕Others may require camera or mic participation, or on-the-spot speaking. ✓A private community and optional bonus Zooms for those who want connection, only if you choose. ✕Others often rely on mandatory group interaction or forced participation. ✓Therapists and psychiatrists regularly refer clients to DBT Path, trusting our long-standing reputation. ✓Because we are a psychoeducational program, no referral is required to enroll. Students thrive with consistency, especially when building trust and emotional safety. At DBT Path, you'll always know who's guiding your learning journey: the same two experienced DBT skills educators, week after week. Not rotating coaches.Why Choose DBT Path?
