What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is collaborative and individualized. I find the best benefit in working collaboratively with my clients and focusing on the goals that they want to achieve and not the goals that I think that they should be achieving.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Breathing techniques
  • Thought reframing
  • Mindfulness meditation
  • Values identification and values-based living techniques

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 language changes and they start speaking more positively about themselves and about the world around them. They may also demonstrate more confident body language and speak more compassionately about themselves.

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

In their personal time, clients can supplement individual therapy through self-care tools and techniques, leisure activities, getting involved in hobbies and interests, and connecting with others to provide them with encouragement and support.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can just plan on being yourself and having an open mind to what you might be asked to try to manage the issues that brought you into therapy.

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.
