Staying Steady: An Introduction to DBT Skills

Featuring: Victoria Mwongela, MSc., MDiv., LCPC/LPC, Clinical Director,  Counseling Center Group 

Sometimes life can feel fast-paced and demanding. This session offers an introduction to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills that support emotional stability, clearer thinking, and more effective communication. Participants will learn practical tools to manage stress, navigate relationships, and build resilience in everyday situations.

Why this matters:

1. High-pressure environments can trigger reactive decision-making and communication
2. Unmanaged stress often impacts relationships, performance, and overall well-being
3. Emotional regulation and clarity are critical for effective leadership and collaboration
4. Building these skills supports long-term resilience and prevents burnout

What you’ll walk away with:   

1. Practical DBT techniques to regulate emotions in real time
2. Tools to communicate more clearly and effectively in challenging situations
3. Strategies to navigate conflict and strengthen relationships
4. Simple, repeatable approaches to manage stress and maintain focus
