Common approaches to Individual therapy

Amy Marshman

Hear from Amy Marshman, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

View Amy Marshman's profile

What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for individual therapy is a cognitive behavioral approach. I think it is important to explore past and current behaviors and thoughts in order to move towards healthier behaviors or coping patterns. I use many approaches, as I do not think everyone responds to one specific approach.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

In our work together, we will explore many different tools. The tools we choose for you will depend on you as a person and how you feel each tool will work for you. Here are a few of the tools that I use:

  • Journaling: This will involve you thinking about a topic and writing about it or making a list. This is a journal for you to hold onto. You can share as much or as little of it as you feel comfortable.
  • Homework: This is a way for you to connect your sessions to your daily lives. This task is based on our work together. It can be something like trying something new or a different approach to thinking about something.
  • Coping skills: This will involve using new breathing exercises or using the ones you know and doing them when you feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed.

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 connect sessions to their everyday lives, when they are changing behaviors that brought them into therapy, and when they can identify why their mood or behaviors are improving.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by using tools or doing tasks talked about in therapy, such as a new skill or a different approach to behaviors or people.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can be prepared to discuss what brought you into therapy, as well as open to answering questions about you so we can determine how therapy, and I, can best help you.

Starting Individual therapy

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, 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 therapy, 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. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
