What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is CBT. I see the best benefit in CBT because you are able to work with individuals on all aspects such as thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and this is a technique that I feel covers most issues.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach about the following tools and habits in individual therapy: cognitive distortions, coping skills, irrational thoughts, mood diaries, and reframing thoughts.

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 are able to give me examples of how they are incorporating the tools learned in session but also from the way they present themselves.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by reading books, writing what they feel, and keeping a mood journal.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can make sure you have an idea of what you want to talk about, such as 3 bullet points of your goals in 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.

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. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance.
