What you'll practice

The four DBT modules, by name

The same curriculum taught in DBT therapy groups — now available as a conversation, whenever you need it.

i.

Mindfulness

The core skill. Notice what's happening in the moment without getting pulled under by it.

Wise Mind Observe & Describe Non-Judgmental Stance
ii.

Distress Tolerance

Get through a crisis without making it worse — when the situation can't be fixed right now.

TIPP STOP ACCEPTS IMPROVE Radical Acceptance
iii.

Emotion Regulation

Understand emotions as they arise, change the ones you can, ride out the ones you can't.

Check the Facts Opposite Action ABC PLEASE
iv.

Interpersonal Effectiveness

Ask for what you need, say no when you need to, and keep the relationships that matter intact.

DEAR MAN GIVE FAST
A look inside

A conversation, not a workbook

You bring a real situation. The coach helps you name what's happening, pick a skill that fits, and walk through it step-by-step — in your own words.

  • Skills named explicitly — TIPP, DEAR MAN, Opposite Action — so you build real vocabulary over time.
  • Separate chats for separate topics — keep your work-stress practice apart from your family-conflict practice.
  • Shareable with your therapist — send one session or all of them via a secure link. Revoke anytime.

Honest about what we are — and aren't

DBT Skills Coach is a practice tool, not a therapist, not a crisis service. Here's how we think about safety, privacy, and fit.

In a crisis, call 988

If you're in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, an AI is not the right tool. Call or text 988 (US) for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — free, confidential, 24/7.

The coach is trained to recognize crisis language and point you toward help.

Your conversations are private

Your chats are stored on your account so you can return to them. We don't sell your data, and your conversations aren't used to train AI models.

You can delete any session, or your entire account, at any time.

Works alongside your therapist

Best used as between-session practice, not a replacement for care. Share a single session or your full history with your therapist via a secure link — revoke anytime.

Clinicians can request a free account to evaluate the tool.

Trained on the gold standard

The AI coach's knowledge is trained from in Linehan's published skills manual.

DBTSkills.coach works from DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets by Marsha M. Linehan, PhD — the same materials used by DBT therapists and skills groups worldwide.
