Book a DemoWhat is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan to help people manage overwhelming emotions and build lives worth living. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it is now widely used for anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and more. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies, organized into four core skill sets that work together to transform how you relate to your thoughts, feelings, and relationships.
The Four DBT Skill Sets
Learn to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Ally guides you through mindfulness practices to help you stay grounded, notice patterns, and respond rather than react to life's challenges.
Build skills to get through emotional crises without making things worse. Ally helps you practice TIPP, ACCEPTS, and other proven distress tolerance techniques in real time, when you need them most.
Understand and change intense emotional reactions that feel out of control. Ally helps you identify triggers, track emotional patterns, reduce vulnerability, and practice opposite action skills.
Navigate relationships with more confidence and self-respect. Ally helps you practice DEAR MAN, GIVE, and FAST skills so you can communicate your needs, set boundaries, and maintain important relationships.

After each conversation, capture key insights and track your patterns over time. Every session builds your DBT skills in real, lasting ways.
FAQ
Is Therapy Ally a replacement for DBT therapy?
No. Therapy Ally is designed to complement, not replace, your work with a licensed DBT therapist. It helps you apply skills between sessions and reinforce what you learn in therapy.
Do I need to be in DBT therapy to use Therapy Ally?
Not necessarily. While Therapy Ally is most powerful alongside professional care, anyone can use it to learn DBT skills. That said, if you're experiencing a serious mental health condition, we always recommend working with a licensed therapist.
How is Therapy Ally different from a DBT workbook?
Most DBT resources are one-way, presenting content you read and fill in worksheets. Therapy Ally responds to what you're actually experiencing right now, adapts its guidance to your situation, and helps you apply skills in the moment rather than just in theory.
Is my data kept private?
Yes. Your conversations with Ally are private and are never shared with your therapist, employer, or any third parties. Therapy Ally is built with a privacy-first architecture and you remain in full control of your data.
