Hear from our clinicians

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

Jacquelyn Farasat
Jacquelyn Farasat

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with the daily practice of relevant strategies introduced in counseling sessions.

What is your go-to approach for child therapy?

Mark Bingel McKillips
Mark Bingel McKillips

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

My go-to approach for helping kids in child therapy starts with a thorough assessment with the child's caregiver(s) to determine the child's specific needs. With younger children, and with children who engage in maladaptive behaviors, their caregiver's involvement in the therapeutic process is essential. Sometimes, I will meet with parents for several sessions before introducing the child.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling?

Mark Bingel McKillips
Mark Bingel McKillips

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

I know when a client is making meaningful progress when they present with a more positive affect, when they can more easily engage in self-affirmation, and they consistently meet their treatment goals and objective. An increase in social engagement and engagement in interests can also serve as metrics for treatment progress.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

Brian Mullan
Brian Mullan

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

To prepare for your first session to treat anxiety disorder, you can and should think about what you would like the experience to feel and look like. How would you like to feel after a few therapy sessions? Think about that, and then communicate that to your prospective therapist either beforehand or at the intake to make sure it's a good fit for you.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

Mark Bingel McKillips
Mark Bingel McKillips

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

Some of the skills that I introduce from the CBT model include:
  • Mindfulness - Nonjudgmental awareness of internal and external experiences.
  • Cognitive restructuring - This involves modifying a thought to be more helpful and productive.
  • Thought stopping - Interrupting a distressing thought and the pattern of behavior that may follow the thought.
  • Thought recording - The formal process of mapping out the progression of experiences that follow a trigger and/or unhelpful thought.

Marla has been a huge help to me in my transition into parenthood and in my continuing effort to regulate my emotions. She has given me tools and resources to do this and has also given me space to vent frustrations and celebrate small wins with her. I can safely say the last few months of my life would have been a lot harder without Marla.

Thriveworks: Thriveworks has been great for finding a therapist who is in-network with my insurance, and their reps have helped when there were insurance issues too. It's great to be able to try a few therapists until you find the right fit. . . My provider, Jacquelyn: Jacquelyn has been hugely helpful as I work through a life transition of one relationship ending, and then another. She has helped me understand more about myself, shared strategies I can use to develop healthy habits and patterns, and overall helped me live more from a mindset of openness and opportunity.

What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?

Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being.

What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Philadelphia, we offer:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
  • Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.

When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

  • Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness
  • Difficulty managing and coping with daily stress
  • Strained or troubled relationships with family, friends, or partners

What Should I Do If a Loved One Needs Help?

If you have a loved one who is in need of mental health services, you can help them by attempting to:

  • Communicate openly and non-judgmentally
  • Offer support and encourage them to seek professional help
  • Research and connect them with appropriate resources
  • Be patient and maintain a supportive presence throughout their journey to recovery

Our experienced therapists, counselors, and psychiatric nurse practitioners can assist—don’t hesitate to have the individual you love seek help and support.
