Looking for effective and evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches? Look no further than Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). While CBT focuses on modifying maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior, DBT offers a comprehensive approach that emphasizes developing skills to regulate emotions, improve relationships, and increase mindfulness. With both approaches having strong research bases supporting their effectiveness, choosing the right one depends on the specific needs of the client. In Ontario, specialized training programs and ongoing clinical supervision requirements help ensure therapists deliver CBT and DBT effectively and ethically.
