Welcome to Online DBT Skills
In 2025, Online DBT Skills is stepping back from providing DBT courses and facilitating live groups in order to focus on training mental health professionals and on individual DBT skills coaching for clients.
Our current group will continue until our final students graduate in July but we are no longer accepting new live group students. If you are a current student in any of our programs or a live group alumni, keep an eye on your inbox for updates.
We are very proud of the nearly 10k students who have learned DBT skills with us since 2018 and we look forward to continuing our mission to make DBT more accessible by pivoting our focus to educating professionals.

What are DBT Skills
and why are they important?
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based type of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) combined with Zen Buddhism that helps students identify negative thinking patterns and gain healthy coping skills. Although DBT was originally created to treat those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) it has also shown success in treating other mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. The goal of DBT is to find the middle path, decrease intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and learn effective coping skills for difficult times. DBT focuses on learning skills relevant to the present situations people are dealing with in order to lead a more rewarding life.
