Which DBT Skills Courses Do You Teach Online?
I teach the skills because I believe in the skills. I use them in my own life, and they've helped my clients so significantly that I'm excited to share them with a broader audience here.
Dr. Stacey
Meet your instructor, Dr. Stacey Rosenfeld.
A licensed psychologist for over 20 years, Dr. Stacey is well-known for her clinical work, media appearances, and contributions to the field. She is intensively trained in DBT and has taught DBT skills to hundreds of people in the form of weekly therapy groups.
But over time, some problems arose with this approach. First, many wanted to participate in the groups but couldn't due to scheduling conflicts. Some people just didn't feel comfortable in a group therapy environment. They wanted more privacy, flexibility, and independence for their learning. And frequently, clients who participated in her groups had such a positive experience that they wanted to refer their friends and family to participate in the group with them, but her professional ethics prevented this.
And so, during the pandemic, Dr. Stacey began to create this content, hoping to develop a course that anyone around the world could access in the privacy of their own home and at a pace that worked for them. Fast-forward a few years, and we are now proud to present the DBT skills curriculum to you.

What DBT skills do your classes cover?
We teach four modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

The classes are self-paced. Dr. Stacey walks you through each skill step by step using short videos and relevant examples, with resources and knowledge checks along the way. You can watch or listen on your own schedule.
Do I have to take classes with other people?
No. Classes are private and independent, which works well if you prefer not to do group therapy or have a busy schedule. If your preference is for a DBT skills group, reach out to Gatewell Therapy Center to see if you might qualify for our live, online groups.
