Starting Loneliness counseling

What is loneliness counseling?

Loneliness counseling is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals navigate the emotional challenges and isolation associated with persistent loneliness. Counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Silver Spring, MD create a supportive and understanding environment where clients can delve into the root causes of their loneliness and develop strategies to establish meaningful social connections.

How does loneliness counseling work?

Loneliness counseling employs a multifaceted approach, utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe your negative thought patterns, enhance communication, and improve social skills. It also incorporates interpersonal therapy to address relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage feelings of loneliness and self-criticism. Goal-setting is also encouraged to help you actively pursue social connections and community engagement. Through these techniques, loneliness therapy empowers individuals to overcome isolation, develop meaningful relationships, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.

Is loneliness counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks loneliness counseling in Silver Spring, MD is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does loneliness counseling last?

Loneliness counseling can take different amounts of time. It depends on how lonely a person is and how they’re doing in counseling. Normally, it involves many sessions that last from a few weeks to a few months. The exact number of sessions and how long it takes are determined with the loneliness counselor’s input.

At Thriveworks Silver Spring, you can expect your treatment plan to be personalized based on your needs.  Your counselor will assess you and your unique needs to find the right way to handle your path toward healing.

A clinician at Thriveworks can help you in a number or ways, a couple of which can include:

  • Helping you let go of inaccurate beliefs. When a person feels Longley, their outlook on the world can be distorted.  These feels can be hard to get rid of and can make it impossible for a person to move through the other feelings of loneliness.
  • Direct support may be required. Some people know and understand the root of their loneliness – they have lost a spouse, a child’s parents may have just divorced, or they have recently moved to a place where they don’t know anyone.  In these cases, specific steps can and will be taken to deal with these issues.

A clinician at Thriveworks Silver Spring can provide the compassionate and experienced support you need to move forward.

  • Individual Therapy: Provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore underlying causes of loneliness, develop coping strategies, and build self-esteem and social skills.
  • Group Therapy: Offers a sense of belonging and connection through interactions with others experiencing similar feelings of loneliness, providing opportunities for shared experiences and mutual support.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs contributing to loneliness, while developing healthier coping mechanisms and social behaviors.
  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): Focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication skills, addressing loneliness by exploring and resolving conflicts, role transitions, and social isolation.
  • Community Programs and Support Groups: Provides opportunities for individuals to engage in social activities, volunteer work, or join interest-based groups, fostering connections and a sense of community outside of therapy.
  • Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaches individuals mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness, self-compassion, and acceptance, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.

If you feel lost and need support, call Thriveworks Silver Spring today.  We want to help you build a strong support network and conquer loneliness.  You can thrive, and our clinicians have the tools you’ll need to tackle all of the challenges you’ve been facing.
