Hear from our clinicians

What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

Adam: My approach is CBT with brief/solution-focused therapy under the umbrella of person-centered therapy.

John: I use mindfulness therapy along with CBT, and I am learning DBT.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

Adam: I teach stress management, thought-stopping techniques for anxiety, how to better manage depression, etc.

John: I use relaxation, guided imagery, and meditation. I also use breathing techniques and exploration of emotions paired with coping skills.

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

Adam: I know a client is making progress when they say they used a tool that we discussed and it helped them. You can also tell when you notice behaviors change for the better.

John: When clients are starting to talk openly about events and how they were able to successfully use the therapy techniques taught to them to cope with the issue.

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

Adam: Clients can read, research, listen to podcasts, etc.

John: I send handouts and various therapy tools for them to use to augment what is discussed in therapy.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

Adam: To prepare for individual therapy, be prepared to share honestly what it is you want to work on or change.

John: Clients can best prepare for the first session by being as open about their concerns as possible.

Starting Individual therapy

What is individual therapy?

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

Is individual therapy conducted in person or online?

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.
