How to find the right therapist in New Berlin, WI

When choosing a therapist in New Berlin, WI, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you: Do they accept your insurance? Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family? Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

Understanding online dialectical behavior therapy

What is dialectical behavior therapy, and how does it work?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive and evidence-based therapy approach that aims to help people manage intense emotions and build better relationships. It combines standard cognitive therapy techniques with skills like mindfulness, which focuses on awareness of the present moment. DBT can be effective for issues like borderline personality disorder and eating disorders, concentrating on improving emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.

DBT may not be the best treatment for your needs. Understanding the process and discussing this treatment method with a mental health professional is important.

Common issues addressed by dialectical behavior therapy

DBT can be used in treating mental health conditions associated with emotional instability. It can support people who deal with borderline personality disorder and extreme emotional reactions. DBT offers strategies for handling these challenges, which can lead to a more stable and fulfilling life.

Potential benefits of online dialectical behavior therapy

Online DBT sessions offer the flexibility to connect with specialized therapists on the Rula platform throughout your state, even if they’re not in your local area. This can be beneficial for people who face challenges attending in-person sessions. Research has shown that online therapy can have the effectiveness of in-person DBT while providing an accessible and comfortable option for treatment.

What to expect during an online dialectical behavior therapy session

During an online DBT session, therapists generally guide people through skill-building exercises in areas like mindfulness, handling stress, regulating emotions, and improving relationships. These sessions often include discussions on applying these skills to daily life, focusing on improving emotional stability and personal connections.

Choosing the right dialectical behavior therapist

After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.

FAQs about online dialectical behavior therapy

How effective is online DBT compared to in-person sessions?

Online DBT can be effective for many people. Many therapists on the Rula platform have experience adapting DBT techniques for online formats. While some may prefer in-person interactions, others find online therapy more convenient and less intimidating, which can help make sessions more effective.

Is dialectical behavior therapy right for me?

DBT can be suitable for people dealing with issues around emotional regulation, relationship conflicts, or self-harming behaviors. It can benefit people seeking a more structured therapy approach focusing on building practical skills. A consultation with a DBT therapist can help you decide if this therapy aligns with your needs and goals.

How should I prepare for online DBT sessions?

Reflect on your thoughts and feelings leading up to the appointment. Think about what you hope to get from each session and your longer-term goals. Let your close friends or family know you're starting DBT, as you might need their understanding and support.

DBT often brings up intense feelings and challenges old behaviors that may be difficult. Remember, the process of change has ups and downs. Working with your therapist can guide you through this process, offering support and strategies to help you apply DBT skills effectively in your everyday life. Feel confident about sharing your thoughts and feelings openly in this safe space.

How long does DBT therapy typically last?

The length of DBT therapy depends on the individual's needs and the specific issues being addressed. Some people may experience significant improvement within a few sessions, while others might engage in DBT therapy over several months. Your therapist can tailor treatment to your unique healing journey.

Are there any requirements for participating in online DBT?

Online DBT requires a private space for therapy, a reliable internet connection, and a device capable of video conferencing. Active participation and a willingness to apply DBT skills outside of sessions are critical for the therapy's success.
