Common approaches to Individual therapy

Hear from Rhiannon Price, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

View Rhiannon Price's profile

What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is CBT/DBT. I prefer this therapy because it teaches clients concrete coping skills and has specific interventions to help clients see progress.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach clients mindfulness techniques, deep breathing, journaling, WISE mind, and emotional regulation tools. Deep breathing is also taught, such as 4-4-4 breathing: 4 counts in, holding for 4 counts, 4 counts out, and repeat. Journaling is taught through journal prompts, daily meditation lists, and checking in with feelings daily (triggers, etc).

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

I know a client is making progress when they notice a positive shift in moods and thinking and behavior has changed in a positive way towards treatment plan goals.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by finding support groups, identifying self-care skills, and doing their treatment plan homework.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual session, you can identify your goals, expectations for therapy, and expectations for your therapist.

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.

My experience has been somewhat less desiring. My ongoing sessions with the counselor is not as expected. It’s not engaging and oftentimes we are sitting in silence. I even asked if there was an ending game plan so we know where we are working towards and I didn’t get an answer.
