Common approaches to Individual therapy

Billi Jo Speth

Hear from Billi Jo Speth, Counselor (Registered Mental Health Intern)

View Billi Jo Speth's profile

What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is to help the person find the best solution for their individual problem or situation. My clients are experts on their own lives. I also incorporate in my go-to approach, which is separating the problem from the person. The problem is the problem. I enjoy helping people separate the person they are from the problem. Additionally, I enjoy helping people with universal questions concerning death, freedom, existential isolation, and meaninglessness.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Social skills training
  • Boundaries
  • Communication skills/assertiveness training
  • Thought stopping
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Challenging/understanding stereotypes
  • Personal validation
  • Personal advocating
  • Reframing the problem
  • Increase personal choices
  • Dr. Frankl's “Healing through reason”

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 the person has an “aha” moment. Many times an “aha” moment comes from just talking out the problem.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by practicing skills taught or by doing their therapeutic homework. Homework is a collaborative decision by the client and the therapist.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can make a list of issues you are struggling with in your life and bring them to your 1st therapy appointment. You can also imagine what it would be like if you woke up tomorrow and your issues were no longer a problem in your life.

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.

Jessica Gort is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s not only met my needs and expectations, she goes above and beyond that. When I first met with Jessica i was newly sober and recently lost my father, I was struggling and had just ended a professional relationship with a prior therapist that couldn’t help me with what I needed at that time. I felt lost and was losing hope until I met her. I expressed my concerns with Jessica and she did everything she could to help me in the ways that I needed, to keep my sobriety and mental health intact during my grieving process. If I could rate her 10 stars I would. She’s amazing. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed working with Erin. She has my best interest at heart which is very important to me. I love how attentive and empathic Erin is towards my needs, and I am close to meeting my therapeutic goals. I have learned that life is a journey, and we should work on improving ourselves daily. I would most definitely recommend Erin to anyone who may need therapy, and I would work with her again. Thank you, Erin

In my time working with Jessica, I have experienced nothing but kindness and empathy from her. Jessica fully listened to my concerns and helped me work through overwhelming situations on multiple occasions. Jessica provided non-judgmental support without being overbearing. I would definitely work with Jessica again and recommend her to anyone in need of support.
