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 Westborough, MA 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 Westborough, MA 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.

Relational Connection and Reducing Loneliness

Modern life does not feel conducive for community, but loneliness and isolation are not inevitable outcomes. People are learning to make their own communities. Here are a few ways they are doing it…

Redefine Community

Some people are drawn to bustling cities where corners stores are open 24/7. Others want a small, quiet town, while for some people, the rhythm of the suburbs is right. Think about where you want to meet people and build relationships. Seek out opportunities where you can be in those places.

Just as people can build communities anywhere, they can form relationships about anything. The key is finding activities where they feel known. That may be a religious experience, a civic club, an athletic team, a volunteering opportunity, or any countless other activities that bring people together. Most likely, if you pursue something you love, you will find other people who are doing the same.

Cultivate an Inner-Circle

People will have varying levels of depth to the relationships in their lives, and at least a few should be inner-circle friendships. What exactly is an inner-circle friendship? There are at least three criteria for these deeper relationships:

  • The relationship has progressed beyond the original context where it was formed. Acquaintance friendships are built upon convenience and often end when the convenience ends. Inner-circle friends may have met at work, but they now interact outside of work and about topics other than work. Inner-circle friendships can survive a change of context.
  • You can spend time with each other and without an activity or crowd. Good friends will always go out for poker nights, rounds of golf, manicures, and pedicures, but they will also just be together…sit on one friend’s sofa and share about their day…cancel plans to process a bad day…and more.
  • You trust each other with both the good and the bad of your daily life. When one friend in the inner-circle is struggling, the other knows. When one experiences a victory, the other knows.
