It is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and patterns that maintain stress or low mood by teaching concrete skills for coping and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships after trauma or during recovery from addictions.
Micheal "Mike" Montgomery uses these approaches as tools, and he works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and circumstances. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together - he helps clients weigh options, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful.
