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 Conway, AR 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 Conway, AR 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.

Therapy for Loneliness and Social Isolation in Conway, AR—Therapists and Counselors

A layman might assume the cure for social isolation or loneliness is as simple as going outside and meeting new people, right? Wrong. The truth is that people dealing with these issues often feel incapable of developing new relationships, and some people experiencing loneliness may have plenty of close relationships in their lives. A Thriveworks Conway counselor can help get to the bottom of these complicated issues. Reach out today to get started.

Social Isolation Can Have Many Causes

Social isolation is being physically separated from people. A person who is socially isolated is alone most of the time. In some cases, it’s because he or she lives far away from people. In other cases, they could live in a house full of people but lock themselves in a room, rarely interacting with others. This behavior can be caused by a number of issues, including depression. Fear, anxiety, and doubt are common obstacles which can be overcome with good counseling.

It’s common to think that loneliness is the same thing as social isolation, that people only feel lonely if they don’t have others around. The truth is that many people who experience loneliness have good, healthy relationships in their lives. Those relationships might include parents, a romantic partner, or even typical friendships. But they still feel separate from the world and alone. It is that “feeling” that “I am alone” that is overwhelming and real more so than the fact that there are people all around.

Side Effects of Loneliness

There are many possible side effects or co-diagnoses that can go along with social isolation or loneliness. Some of these have very painful consequences including:

  • Depression
  • Insomnia or Hypersomnia (too much sleep)
  • Changes in appetite (both overeating and a lack of interest in food)
  • Substance abuse (illicit drugs, prescription drugs, and even over the counter drugs)
  • Aches and pains (both physiological and psychological)
  • Suicidal thoughts, self-mutilation, and other harmful/risky behaviors

My depression and anxiety were taken over my life and I knew I had to make a change. Just like everyone else I thought I didn't need counseling. After my first session with Kristen G., I knew God had placed me with a compassionate, and caring therapist. Without a doubt I would recommend Thriveworks and their team of professionals
