What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

I don't have a go-to approach for individual therapy, as it entirely depends on the primary issues the client is dealing with. I enjoy using CBT, DBT, and MI predominantly, because I have seen the positive impact various skills from each intervention can make in someone's day to day functioning.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

  • Thought challenging/thought records
  • Mindfulness
  • Relaxation skills
  • Play therapy (for younger individuals)
  • Psychoeducation
  • Distress tolerance
  • Emotion regulation
  • Person-centered
  • Exploration of values

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy?

I base my assessment of a client's progress off what I see them actively doing when talking about themselves, others, etc. such as catching negative thought cycles and also by their own report of progress and how they feel. The most important thing is making sure my clients feel they can see the benefits of their hard work.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement individual therapy?

Implement the tools we discuss weekly, and actively make changes where it is needed. Nothing changes unless you do!

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

I encourage them to keep an open mind upon starting therapy, as each therapist has their own unique style of therapy. I also encourage them to be totally authentic and honest, not trying to tell me what they think the right answer is or what I want to hear.

Starting Individual therapy

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.

How does individual therapy work?

Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.

Can individual therapy help me?

Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.

Is individual therapy conducted in person or online?

Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does individual therapy last?

The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.

How much does individual therapy cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

Since it was mostly an intake session it is too soon to make a good judgement on my experience, hence my score to the prior question being a 5!
