CBT & DBT Therapy in Altamonte Springs, FL
Practical Tools. Real Change. Support That Gets It.
At New Light Counseling, we offer a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — two evidence-based approaches that help clients manage overwhelming emotions, reframe harmful thought patterns, and build a life rooted in balance and intention.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, borderline personality disorder (BPD), or emotional dysregulation, these modalities provide actionable tools that can support your healing — and we tailor them to you.
What Is CBT
(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)?
CBT helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that influence your emotions and behaviors.
It teaches you how to reframe thoughts, build coping skills, and break cycles that keep you feeling stuck.
CBT can be especially helpful for:
Anxiety and panic
Depression
Negative self-talk
Perfectionism
People-pleasing or self-doubt
What Is DBT
(Dialectical Behavior Therapy)?
Originally developed for individuals with intense emotions and self-harming behaviors, DBT is a skills-based therapy focused on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
DBT can be especially helpful for:
Borderline personality disorder
Self-harm or suicidal ideation
Relationship struggles
Emotional outbursts or impulsivity
Feeling overwhelmed or chronically invalidated
Our Integrative Approach
At New Light Counseling, we don't believe in cookie-cutter therapy. We draw from both CBT and DBT based on what you need, when you need it — whether that’s learning how to ground yourself in the middle of a spiral, communicate more effectively, or understand your inner critic.
You’ll find support that is:
Compassionate and nonjudgmental
Evidence-based and effective
Flexible and personalized
Emotionally honest and collaborative
We offer therapy for both teens and adults, in-person in Altamonte Springs and virtually throughout Florida.
