Our counselors provide therapy in Greenville, SC

Camila: My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is to help them understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe space. I prefer CBT and person-centered approaches, as clients are able to feel heard, express their thoughts and emotions, and learn practical tools that can provide symptom relief.

Samer: My approach to individual therapy is to identify the areas of concern that allow the client to take the lead and for me to provide the evidence-based therapy required to reach the targeted goals.

Camila: I teach clients behavior activation techniques, grounding exercises, cognitive challenging, and healthy coping skills, to name some, to help them process their thoughts and emotions and cope during difficult times.

Samer: I teach the following tools in individual therapy: stress management, emotional management, anger management, problem-solving and decision-making, communication skills, trauma processing, improvement of relationships, time management, parenting, and a lot of other approaches.

Camila: I know clients are making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they feel more hopeful and motivated and start taking practical steps toward creating the life they want for themselves.

Samer: I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when symptoms of stress are significantly reduced, clients self-report progress toward therapy goals, or they achieved at least 75% of their objectives.

Camila: Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with exercise, mindfulness techniques, and social engagement.

Samer: Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by following the therapy plan and paying attention to their time and energy as well as two major points, which are self-care and healthy relationships.

Camila: To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can create a list of your current areas of concern and things you would like to achieve in therapy.

Samer: To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can just complete the intake forms and make sure you know the office location or the Zoom link to your virtual session, and of course show up!
