Common approaches to Individual therapy

Hear from Andrew Smith, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

View Andrew Smith's profile

What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach in individual therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy with added layers of mindfulness. I work with individuals to develop insight and awareness into their own patterns and habits in order to make more intentional decisions about how they handle their day-to-day stressors and relationships. I find this approach beneficial because we can never change anything unless we realize that it's happening, so awareness is always the first step.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I tend to teach skills related to the identification of cognitive distortions, a wide variety of mindfulness strategies, identification and alignment with personal values, setting effective goals, education and strategies around emotional regulation, and effective communication skills.

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

I know when a client is making progress in therapy because they start to report back noticing their habits, patterns, and behaviors from a new perspective. They discuss the realization of how underlying concepts play out in their day-to-day relationships, as well as their perceptions of their own stressors.

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

In their personal time, I always encourage clients to absorb recommended content that best matches their learning style: books, audiobooks, podcasts, YouTube, handouts, etc. I also encourage clients to reflect actively on the discussion from sessions, including through journaling.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first session, it is helpful to come in with an open mind and a willingness to be honest. The more open a person is willing to be, the more helpful therapy can be. If you already have an idea of what you want to work on, great! If not, that will be part of what the first session can help identify. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions.

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 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.
