What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Boundaries
  • Coping skills
  • Communication skills
  • Emotional regulation
  • Distress tolerance

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 have minimal symptoms compared to their intake session and can identify more effective strategies to better manage those symptoms.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with homework assignments given at the end of therapy and practicing journaling.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can expect to be met with non-judgement when discussing your own individual needs for therapy.

Starting Individual therapy in Norwalk

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.
