As a woman of color, I understand the challenges that this brings to our lives. I have experience working with people of color of all ages especially those struggling with depression and anxiety. I use DBT skills and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during therapy during my sessions. I also have experience with working with victims of any crime for many years.
Greetings! My name is Lenda. I am a bilingual counselor. I have been a counselor for eight years. I chose this career because I personally know someone who struggled with mental health. It is gratifying seeing how my clients have shown progress and achieved a better life throughout my work with them. I have gained experience in working with individuals who struggle with depression and anxiety symptoms on a daily basis. I also have worked with victims of sexual abuse and other crimes. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills in sessions. I continue taking training to better help my clients.
My approach is for clients to identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more constructive ones. Challenge distorted thoughts. Use of interventions between sessions. Objectives are set and measured regularly to monitor client progress. Mindfulness is used in sessions to help clients manage emotions, anxiety, and impulsive decisions.
Sounds like you have gone through a lot, please allow me to help you heal through a gentle and peaceful session. I want you to know that you matter and your feelings are important. Therapy is a safe place to explore your concerns at your own pace.

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and nationally certified counselor (NCC) who works with individuals ages 16 and up navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, psychosis, personality disorders, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges.

I believe therapy works best as a partnership. Using a range of approaches—including CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, and family systems—I tailor each session to you. Whether you want to take the lead or need more guidance from me, I'll meet you where you are.
Each session, my aim is for you to leave feeling better equipped to handle whatever comes next. I recognize the courage it took to get here, and I'm ready to walk alongside you. Schedule an appointment to start this next chapter.

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is to help them learn to manage intense emotions through their imagination, such as by visualizing themselves experiencing an intense emotion while, in their imagination, they remain in complete control of themselves. I find benefit in helping clients learn how to face their intense emotions because it provides them with tools so that they can handle what are often the most challenging experiences of their lives.
In DBT, I teach the following tools:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in DBT when they are able to deal with a highly stressful event in an effective and respectful manner.
Clients can supplement their time in DBT by journaling their feelings on a regular basis.
To prepare for their first DBT session, an individual can make a list of the biggest challenges and stressors in their life for which they would like some relief.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Bensalem, PA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
