What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My approach to helping people in individual therapy is eclectic, as every person's needs are different and can be met with many different approaches. Individual therapy is a joint process and unbiased based on open communication within a supportive setting. I prefer to use a variety of styles and creativity to help one navigate their personal journey, such as visuals, handouts, and book recommendations. When I work with children and teens, I like to use play therapy, creative arts, and visual modalities such as media and whiteboard if using telehealth.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Communication skills
  • Assertiveness/boundaries
  • Cognitive restructuring
  • Self-awareness
  • Problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Improved motivation

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

Progress in therapy is more than just a feeling; it is about behavioral and well-being changes, such as an increased positive mood, fewer symptoms of conditions such as depression, having better ways to manage anxiety or triggers, adjusting goals and objectives, or feedback in sessions; you will be more aware of your feelings, emotions, actions, and decisions as you live your life.

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

In between sessions, I encourage and stress the importance of self-care, attending groups, nature therapy, using writing as an outlet, and reading specific articles to help provide support around concerns clients are presenting with in therapy.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual session, you can congratulate yourself for taking steps to continue to be the best version of you! Determine the reasons for seeking or your purpose for starting therapy. Don’t be too worried about knowing what to say, as you will be able to provide insight during the intake process. Dress for comfort, don't be afraid to ask your therapist questions, understand you may become emotional and cry, and prepare time before and after your session to process and relieve unnecessary stress.

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.

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. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Christina is amazing. She listens, addresses my concerns, fuels me up, and helps me get to the root of my problems or issues. She is non-judgmental in all ways, but helps me breakdown things to see them for how they are. I am so happy that I found Christina!
