Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that helps you recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) uses mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation to help solve problems for those suffering from mental health issues. It's used to treat people with post-traumatic stress disorder, bulimia, binge-eating, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse problems, among other issues.
