DBT Skills Practice Journal | Clinician-Designed | ZipHealthy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy works — but only if you practice the skills between sessions. This clinician-designed journal is built specifically for DBT skills practice, giving you structured space to develop and reinforce the four core DBT modules in your daily life.

Designed by Stephen Velasquez, MBA, MSW, LCSW — a licensed clinical social worker with over 16 years of clinical experience — this 102-page guided journal draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — all four modules, including Wise Mind, opposite action, radical acceptance, chain analysis, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
