Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) focuses on helping individuals develop skills to manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and reduce problematic behaviours. This approach can be particularly helpful for autistic clients who may struggle with emotional regulation and interpersonal communication.

Clients learn skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

DBT offers a structured and skills-based approach to therapy that can be tailored to suit the unique needs and strengths of each client. By developing emotional regulation and interpersonal communication skills, clients can work towards greater emotional wellbeing and social success.

This approach also emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and validation. The therapist provides non-judgmental validation of the client's experiences, which can promote a sense of acceptance and emotional safety.
