DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals regulate emotions, manage distress, improve interpersonal relationships, and develop tolerance for distressing situations.

Mindfulness-based therapies emphasize present-moment awareness and acceptance. These approaches help patients manage anxiety, depression, and chronic pain by cultivating mindfulness skills.
