Description
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment modality that has effectively treated various mental health and substance use concerns. DBT can be complex in a traditional, outpatient setting; however, with the recent shift to telehealth, counselors are finding that they have to adjust to new challenges. This workshop will review the theoretical orientation and functions of DBT, discuss the impact telehealth has on DBT, and introduce ways to implement DBT techniques and strategies via telehealth delivery methods.
