What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is eclectic. I prefer this method because I believe everyone needs something different; therapy isn’t one size fits all.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Deep breathing- This helps decrease anxiety symptoms through breathing
  • Exercise- Decreases symptoms of depression by elevating dopamine levels
  • Challenging negative thoughts- Helps to stop the cycle of negative thinking while feeling anxious or depressed
  • Talk therapy- You might just want someone to listen to you.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they appear to be more relaxed entering a session and handle previous triggers with less reaction.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with utilizing tools learned in session and staying attuned to their emotions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can try to relax. Clients often think the therapist is going to judge them and judging you is not part of what we do.

Individual therapy FAQs

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.

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.

★★★★★
Both my therapy and psychiatrist are excellent, friendly and i feel comfortable and safe with them. I came to thriveworks because my previous therapist and psychiatrist were not that way.
Liliana Aug 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★☆
Apparently my appointment time was double booked. I was told I was not on the schedule at all. I clearly got the email to join the zoom call. Received a reminder the day before the zoom call. I felt very rushed and most of the time was spent trying to figure out how the problem happened and very little time talking about my problems. Meds were ordered and another appointment was scheduled for September 9th
