Tether: DBT Coping Skills

Tether is a DBT skills companion built for teens — designed to work alongside therapy, not replace it. Whether you're learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for the first time or reinforcing what you're already working on, Tether makes it easier to actually use these skills when it matters. WHAT'S INSIDE Skill Library 18 real DBT skills across Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness — each explained in plain language, with clear steps and realistic time estimates. In the Moment When things feel like too much, get straight to a skill that can actually help — no digging through menus. Diary Card Track your emotions, urges, and which skills you used each day. See real trends over time, not just how today felt. Cope Ahead Planning for something hard? Pick the skills you want ready, get a gentle reminder, and reflect on how it went afterward. Share With a Parent (Optional) If you want support at home, choose exactly which skills a parent can see — never your private notes or check-ins, unless you choose to share those too. Therapist-Ready Export Generate a clean summary of your week to bring to your next session, with one tap. Crisis Resources Real, immediate access to 988, Crisis Text Line, and more — always available, no login required. BUILT WITH REAL DBT PRINCIPLES Tether isn't a replacement for therapy, and it's not a crisis service. It's a practice space for skills you're already learning — built to fit into an actual teenage life. Free to download, with a 7-day free trial for Tether Plus (personalized skill recommendations, full Diary Card history, and more).
