Dialectic Behaviour Therapy is the only treatment with enough replication to be considered evidence-based for borderline personality disorder. That sentence comes from a Cochrane Collaborative Review — not a therapy website. It reflects what decades of research have consistently found: for people struggling with intense emotional dysregulation, self-harm, and the relational chaos that comes with it, DBT outperforms every other intervention tested against it.
But DBT isn’t only for BPD. It was originally developed for chronic suicidality, then extended. Research now supports its use for depression, PTSD, eating disorders, substance use, and any presentation where emotional dysregulation is the central driver of the problem. Studies show DBT reduces self-harm behaviours by up to 50% and significantly reduces suicidal ideation.
In India, access to properly trained DBT therapists is extremely limited. Anvaya Healthcare has therapists with specific DBT training available for online sessions across India, making this approach accessible to people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to reach it.
DBT is a highly researched therapy for borderline personality disorder, backed by strong long-term clinical evidence.
For individuals struggling with intense emotions, self-harm, and unstable relationships, DBT consistently outperforms other therapeutic approaches.
Trained DBT therapists are scarce in India, but online sessions make structured, specialised care accessible across the country.
DBT can cut self-harm behaviours by up to 50% and significantly reduce suicidal thoughts.
DBT wasn’t designed to treat diagnoses — it was designed to treat emotional dysregulation as the mechanism underlying a range of problems. That distinction matters for who it can help.
DBT has its strongest evidence base in BPD, targeting unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, identity disturbance, and intense emotional swings by addressing core emotional regulation deficits.
Originally developed for chronic self-harm, DBT remains the most evidence-supported therapy for reducing self-harm and suicidal behaviours outside inpatient settings.
For individuals with intense emotions, anger, and low distress tolerance — even without BPD — DBT helps stabilise reactions and improve relationships.
DBT is effective where emotional avoidance drives depression, anxiety, eating disorders like binge eating, and broader impulse control difficulties.
Book a session at Anvaya Healthcare online or by phone. A clinical psychologist typically leads DBT assessment, with psychiatric input added if medication is needed.
The first session focuses on understanding your concerns — emotional triggers, behaviour patterns, and how dysregulation shows up — with clear, goal-oriented planning.
Sessions follow a structured format: reviewing diary cards, addressing behaviours, and building skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Progress is tracked using diary cards that record emotions, urges, and skill use, ensuring therapy is based on real, week-to-week patterns and measurable change.

DBT is structured. That’s not a limitation — for people who have spent years in open-ended therapy that didn’t produce change, the structure is what makes it different. There are specific skills being taught, specific goals being tracked, specific data being reviewed each session. Progress is observable, not impressionistic. Privacy matters particularly for conditions like BPD and self-harm, which carry significant stigma in India. An online session from home, without any visible clinic attendance, changes what people are willing to pursue. Flexible scheduling fits around the reality that emotional dysregulation doesn’t keep office hours — some days are much harder than others, and online makes attendance more realistic on those days.
Accessible across India through Anvaya Healthcare — which is significant given how few therapists in India have specific DBT training. Affordable compared to equivalent in-person specialist therapy. Continuous support between sessions is built into the DBT model itself — diary cards maintained daily, skills practised between sessions, not just during them.
Affordable, transparent pricing. The Mental Healthcare Act 2017 mandates insurance parity for mental health — check your policy’s OPD clause.

DBT requires specific post-qualification training and supervised practice. It’s not a therapy that transfers from general clinical psychology training without additional work. The psychologists at Anvaya Healthcare who deliver DBT have that specific training — alongside foundational qualifications from AIIMS, NIMHANS, IHBAS, Lady Hardinge Medical College, and VIMHANS.
For conditions like BPD and chronic self-harm, the quality of the therapeutic relationship and the therapist’s ability to hold the dialectical stance — validating the person’s experience while simultaneously pushing for change — is as important as technical competence. That balance requires supervision and experience. It’s what Anvaya Healthcare’s DBT clinicians bring. Personalised treatment plans, confidential sessions, easy booking, pan India accessibility.

Yes. A review of online DBT found attendance is actually improved in online delivery, with comparable outcomes to in-person for the presenting conditions DBT is designed to treat. The skills-based component translates well to video delivery.
Individual DBT sessions typically run 50 to 60 minutes. Skills training sessions — when delivered in a group format or as a separate module — often run longer, up to 90 minutes. Initial assessment sessions are typically 60 to 75 minutes.
