What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

When working with clients in individual therapy, it is most important for me to meet clients where they are and to work at a pace that they are comfortable with. It is extremely important and beneficial to connect with a client as they continue to gain your trust and feel emotionally safe during their sessions.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Coping skills: A wide variety of different techniques to learn and utilize that are specific to your needs, such as anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD/ADD, etc.
  • Communication skills: Healthy ways to communicate by learning healthy communication styles such as active listening, using “I” statements, conflict resolution, love languages, assertive communication, etc.
  • Psychoeducation: Providing clients with information related to their needs, such as documents, worksheets, and other resources.
  • Safety planning: Creating a safety plan unique to each client if/when needed.
  • Boundary setting: Learning ways to set, use, and maintain both emotional and physical boundaries.
  • Role play: Practicing or modeling coping skills, managing certain situations, ways to communicate, etc.

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 are able to demonstrate/verbalize beneficial skills they are using, validate improvement in symptoms through self-report and/or assessments, gain insight and self-awareness, and are moving toward or meeting their goals and/or expectations,

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with self-care, such as participating in something they enjoy to the best of their ability, making and taking time for themselves, asking for and accepting help and support from others as needed, etc.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, remind yourself that you are beginning a process to make positive changes and seek support in a caring, safe, accepting, and nonjudgmental environment.

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?

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.

I have known Stephanie for over six years and worked side by side with her in a mental health center for part of that time. What comes across first and foremost is her caring and concern for her clients and her determination to see that their needs are met. She brings to her work a wide range of experience and training along with confidence that is reassuring and a comfort to those in distress. She can deal calmly with the most severe issues as well as with problems of daily living. In the time that I've known her, she has been licensed in three different states to practice in a variety of settings. If you come to her in a time of need, in a time of emotional upheaval or difficult questions, I don't think you will find a more competent or more caring therapist.
