Hear from our clinicians

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

Leonard Schmelkin
Leonard Schmelkin

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

The art of making the family members comfortable by creating a therapeutic relationship with each person is the hallmark of family therapy. The goal is to help each family see themselves in the best possible way and give the benefit of the doubt to their own family.

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

Francesca Vitale
Francesca Vitale

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

While in therapy, the client can practice and explore the tools they want to use outside therapy. Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with by practicing what we do together in sessions. This might include but is not limited to a sustainable self-care and mindfulness practice that includes breath work, movement, and routine. Clients may also begin to map their days and reflect on their values.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

Genevieve Wicks
Genevieve Wicks

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

In depression counseling, I teach the following tools:
  • Education about symptom management including cognitive behavioral therapy.
  • Education regarding the effectiveness of antidepressants that do not have the potential for abuse and partner beautifully with talk therapy.
  • Education related to self-medicating symptoms of depression with alcohol and substances that have the potential for abuse and exacerbate depressive symptoms long term.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

Genevieve Wicks
Genevieve Wicks

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can identify your values and goals. We will need to see if some of your negative thinking patterns are not aligned with what is most important to you and what you hope to achieve.

Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Lexington, we offer:

  • Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs): Trained to provide mental health counseling.
  • Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers (LICSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
  • 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.
