What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is using eclectic therapy. I prefer eclectic therapy techniques because they allow me to draw from several different therapeutic methods to increase the likelihood for behavior change.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach mindfulness, radical acceptance, thought diffusion, urge surfing, and many other forms of therapeutic interventions in individual therapy.

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 client’s thoughts and behaviors change for the better and their life is becoming more positive as they go through the therapeutic process.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by using self-care techniques on a daily basis to improve their overall mental wellbeing.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can start thinking of the behaviors and thoughts you would like to change in the future.

Starting Individual therapy

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as individual-counseling, 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-counseling, 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 take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Pricing & insurance

Our therapists accept most major insurances. We accept 585+ insurance plans, and offer self-pay options, too.
