View Jillian Kraydich's profile

What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is creating a non-judgmental, healing environment where clients feel safe to open up and share their stories. I find the best benefit in forming an alliance with each individual client and then working together on a path of healing. Creating a unique and diverse treatment plan for each individual allows me to meet my clients where they are. We then work together to reach their treatment goals.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

Anti-anxiety breathing exercises
Challenging negative self-talk
Stress management tools
Communication exercises
Mindfulness
Reframing
Gratitude work
Self-care
Sleep maintenance
Movement therapy
Grounding

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 they begin to implement the coping skills and tools we discuss in treatment. This becomes evident when they return to sessions and share real-life examples in which they utilized tools learned and practiced in treatment, instead of falling back on old behaviors.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with meditation, journaling, practicing self-care, and focusing on living an overall healthy life.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can take some time to think of what may be most important for you to share with your therapist and think of goals you may have. Please be proud of yourself for taking a chance on you and scheduling an appointment! Sometimes it can feel very difficult to ask for help, but know that it takes real strength to do so!

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.

When I met with Jillian Kraydich I was in awe with her professionalism and exceptional bedside manor. Our meeting started on time and I felt comfortable right from the start. She was patient, understanding and overall a great help for me. She took the time to get to know me over the course of a few meetings and always allowed me to talk about whatever was on my mind without interruptions or judgement. I have spoken with a few other therapists in the past but they did not allow me to speak as freely as Jillian did. I would highly recommend her for the numerous reasons I stated above.
