DBT skills for anxiety

When anxiety gets loud, start with one skill.

WithMarsha helps you slow the spiral, choose a DBT skill, and practice a more deliberate next step without treating anxiety as a personal failure.

WithMarsha practice screen with personalized DBT skill shortcuts

Keep the skill close

Open a useful DBT prompt when you need one, without hunting through a worksheet.

Practice, do not just read

Use guided exercises to turn a skill into a response you can actually remember.

Bring patterns into focus

Use reflections and diary-card practice to notice what keeps showing up over time.

DBT is most useful when you can reach it in the actual moment.

A worksheet can be a great place to learn. The difficult part is remembering what you learned when your body is activated, a conversation is going sideways, or the day is already too full. WithMarsha is built to shorten that gap.

Instead of asking you to solve everything at once, it gives you a place to name the moment, choose a skill, and return to what happened later with more context. That is a practice loop, not a promise of instant relief.

A repeatable practice rhythm

Notice what is happening

Start with the emotion, urge, situation, or conversation in front of you. You do not need a perfect explanation to begin.

Choose one usable response

Open a named DBT skill, guided prompt, or practice tool. A small next step is more useful than trying to remember an entire module.

Return with curiosity

Use a diary-card reflection to notice what helped, what did not, and what you want to discuss with your therapist or revisit later.

Built for the moment after “what now?”

When anxiety gets loud, make the next step smaller.

These tools do not treat anxiety or replace care. They can give you a structured way to pause, test the story, and choose one deliberate action instead of reacting at peak intensity.

Start with your body, not the whole problem.

TIPP is a DBT distress-tolerance skill set. The free timer offers a paced prompt for a brief reset when you feel keyed up and need a practical place to begin.
