What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My approach is client-driven—I meet clients where they are. It allows the client to feel they are heard and their needs are being met, as well as being able to have accountability for their sessions.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I use:

  • DBT: mindfulness, effective communication, holding space, and validating
  • CBT: challenge negative thoughts/distortions (i.e. “What evidence do I have to support my feelings?”), reframing (instead of the cup half empty, the cup is half full), psychoeducation on diagnoses, medications, and other techniques.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy?

They're making progress when they have achieved and/or are able to utilize effective coping skills, manage emotions so that they can function in everyday life, and achieve therapy goals.

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

Clients can implement self-care, journal, meditate, work out, create a support group, join a support group, talk to friends, draw, and listen to music.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

List the symptoms you are struggling with, how long this has been going on, any previous instances as well as medications they may be on. This is not a must; just making the appointment is a huge step toward the healing process, and together, we can work on identifying what brought you there and begin to unwrap the layers.

Individual therapy FAQs

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.

I am very pleased with Susan Jillson as my provider. The referral to her was a great match for my needs. She quickly grasped my issues, cared enough to ask me what I wanted from her, shared her ideas about a starting approach to help that I'm excited to try, and already gave me helpful information in the first two sessions with her. She is professional, knowledgeable, relatable, and funny at times. She was prompt and the hour flew by. I like that she thinks outside the box and is open to referring me to someone else for matters beyond her expertise, while still taking an interest in those specialties. Lastly, I feel comfortable and safe with her.
