As a licensed professional counselor (LPC), my go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is using a person-centered perspective: meeting you where you are as an individual, learning what your personal goals are, and helping you to develop a plan to make them more manageable so you can build confidence and have more motivation throughout the process. I find a lot of benefit in utilizing tools from other theories to help in this process, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with specific use of reframing and redirecting thoughts to help improve emotional stability; motivational interviewing (MI) to help discover your goals in times of feeling stuck or being unsure; as well as mindfulness techniques and rewriting your narrative to give you additional tools to change how you see yourself and your situation in the here and now.
As an LPC, I often teach the following tools in individual therapy: boundary setting, reframing a thought, stopping a thought, redirecting a thought, SMART goals, the self-coaching model, mindfulness techniques, emotional regulation, various coping skills, etc.
As a therapist, I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when their response to similar stressors diminishes, their ability to change their focus and redirect their thoughts becomes more apparent during sessions, they are consistently able to keep up with their activities of daily living, and they are able to make other changes within their lives with little to no discussion prior to the decision they make on their own.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by reading a recommended book, journaling about their thoughts and emotions, watching educational videos, listening to helpful podcasts that increase their understanding of specific coping skills, using mindfulness tools, etc.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can write a list of what has been happening to bring you to therapy, medications you are currently taking with dosages, goals that you may have for yourself, questions you may have about therapy, and/or what your thoughts are about the frequency of sessions.
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.
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.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
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.
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.
