CBT is a structured, time-limited psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It is grounded in the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and that by changing negative or unhelpful thoughts, we can improve emotional regulation and behavior.

DBT is a form of CBT that combines acceptance and change and is particularly useful for those with intense emotional regulation difficulties, incorporating skills like mindfulness and distress tolerance. The core focus of DBT is to help individuals find a balance between accepting themselves as they are and changing unhealthy behaviors.

Developed by Carl Rogers, Person-Centered Therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. It is based on the belief that individuals have an inherent capacity for self-healing and personal growth, but that this is often hindered by conditions of worth or societal pressures.
