Quick answer
Free coping-skills practice log — clients tick which skills they used daily and whether they helped, making between-session homework visible.
Disclaimer: this template supports skills practice for clients under professional care. It is not a crisis tool; in immediate danger or overwhelming distress, contact emergency services or a crisis line.
Content note: the skill list is illustrative — load the exact skills taught to each client.
Skills only count when they are used, and they are used when someone notices. A one-minute daily tick — which skill, did it help, what blocked it — gives DBT and CBT homework actual visibility, surfaces crisis-urge days before the next session, and turns skill review from guesswork into a short list of what worked.
