What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is individualized treatment using CBT techniques. I enjoy using CBT techniques because it can help the client understand any anxious or depressed thoughts and challenge them. It is empowering to the client.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Putting your thoughts on trial - finding factual evidence backing up a negative thought or disproving it.
  • Grounding techniques - using and practicing different skills to ground oneself to the present rather than sitting in the future or the past.

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 recognize their own behaviors and start to practice changing them.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by practicing skills outside of sessions and engaging in complementary activities like healthy socialization.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can sign up with the desire and willingness to feel better.

Starting Individual therapy

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.

Thanks to Liz K-R, I may be the healthiest and happiest I have been since we started, 2+ years ago (?).
