Introducing DBT Skills Coaching: Practical Support for Emotions, Relationships & Growth

Emotions drive behavior. When unregulated, they can lead to confusion, conflict, or isolation. That’s why we’re excited to offer DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Skills Coaching through Peer Support Coalition of Florida, Inc. (PSCFL), a peer-informed, skills-based coaching path for individuals, parents, and adolescents seeking real change.

What Is DBT Skills Coaching?

DBT is a structured approach developed by Marsha Linehan that combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies. It teaches proven skills to help people manage intense emotions, cope during crises, and improve relationships. 

Unlike full therapy programs, our DBT Skills Coaching focuses on the skills training modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. 

Who Can Benefit?

Adolescents struggle with big emotions, peer and family relationships, or impulsive behavior. Parents / caregivers who want to understand what skills their children are learning and assist them effectively. Individuals of all ages managing mental health challenges, emotional dysregulation, or cyclical distress

Why This Matters

In today’s fast-paced and stressful world, many find themselves reacting rather than responding. DBT Skills Coaching brings tools you can use in real time to pause before reacting, use grounding techniques or distress tolerance tools, and communicate your needs clearly so you can shift from emotional overwhelm to a wise mind.

How We’re Delivering It

Our coaching approach is built for accessibility and real-world use. We combine structured skills modules, peer-guided coaching and support, application strategies tailored to your life stage (adolescence, family, individual), and the best part is there is no prior therapy required. This is a complement, not a replacement, to clinical support.

Ready to Get Started?

If you or someone you care about is ready to learn emotion regulation, better communication, and resilience, this coaching path is for you.
