I took and use my CBT skills. While different from DBT they do share similarities - especially when it comes to dealing with Anxiety.

I've brought up Catastrophic Thinking a few times around the forum. I do so because it is a big part of my own Anxiety thinking and triggers. There are number of tools about working through that - Decatastrophizing worrying situations. It comes down to making lists of worst case scenarios, best case scenarios, and most likely scenarios. The latter is generally considerably longer than the others which for me is quite soothing. The worst case tends to be relatively short surprisingly and is easier to plan for as a result.

here is great worksheet (it's actually a DBT resource):
