What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approaches for helping people in individual therapy are CBT, DBT, ACT, and EDMR. I find that all of these modalities are engaging, practical, and lead to the desired changes.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Relaxation techniques, including but not limited to: diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and mindfulness techniques
  • Grounding techniques: helpful for panic and PTSD symptoms
  • Cognitive restructuring techniques: ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns

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 their daily functioning has started to improve and they feel less distressed.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by doing homework assignments that are given during therapy and reading literature/listening to podcasts about their presenting problems.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can identify what the presenting problems are and consider what your goals are for therapy.

Starting Individual therapy

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as individual-counseling, 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-counseling, 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.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
