Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapy at Overcomers

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes with big emotions. DBT teaches you practical skills in four key areas: managing intense emotions, handling distress, improving relationships, and being present in the moment. It’s like learning a survival guide for tough times.

Finding a DBT Therapist in Colorado

We believe that Dialectical Behavior Therapy gives you real tools for the moments emotions feel bigger than you can manage.

At Overcomers Counseling in Colorado, our DBT-informed providers are steady, practical, and genuinely invested in helping you build skills that stick. The truth is, when you're facing intense mood swings, conflict in close relationships, urges to shut down or lash out, difficulty tolerating stress, or a pattern of feeling "too much" for the people around you, it can help enormously to have concrete skills — not just insight. DBT teaches you how to stay grounded, ride out distress without making things worse, and communicate what you need clearly.

Our team of dedicated DBT-trained counselors blends structured skills work with genuine clinical care, helping you move from emotional overwhelm to steadier ground.

Our goal is to help you feel more in control, not less yourself.

DBT Counseling Services

You don't have to white-knuckle your way through every hard emotion.

Whether you're managing intense mood swings, relationship conflict, or urges you don't feel in control of, our DBT-informed therapists in Colorado Springs, Aurora, Pueblo, and Fort Collins teach four core skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

DBT for Emotional Regulation

If your emotions tend to shift quickly and intensely, DBT skills help you recognize what's happening in the moment and respond instead of react — reducing the intensity and length of emotional spirals over time.

DBT Therapy Online

Life doesn't pause for therapy, so we make it easy to meet from home. Many clients throughout Colorado use secure teletherapy to build DBT skills without adding another commute to their week. Our platform requires nothing to download, no app to install, is fully HIPAA approved, and offers HD quality video with state-of-the-art security and encryption protocols.

Benefits of Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Learning to manage intense emotions is essential for your relationships and your overall well-being, and DBT offers a structured way to build that capacity. Seeking DBT can be a good fit if you desire:

  • Concrete, Practical Skills — DBT teaches specific techniques for distress, not just insight into why you feel a certain way.
  • A Balance of Acceptance and Change — DBT helps you accept where you are right now while still working toward something better.
  • Stronger Relationships — Interpersonal effectiveness skills help you set boundaries and communicate needs clearly.
  • Fewer Emotional Crises — Distress tolerance skills help you get through hard moments without making them worse.
  • Licensed Professional Counselors — Our DBT-informed providers bring real clinical experience to every session.

I can just say the confidence I have today I didn't have before I met Jennifer. She taught me amazing tools for me to be the best mother I have ever been. Trauma is a thing that takes time to heal but I have this.
