How CBT, DBT, and Somatic Work Translate Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. It often uses exercises people can try between sessions to see what helps.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It teaches skills for managing intense feelings and improving interactions with others.

Somatic approaches pay attention to bodily sensations and movement to help process stress and trauma. These methods pair well with talk work by noticing how the body reacts during emotional moments.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying a skill for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
