Individual counseling (individual therapy) is a one-on-one session with a psychologist or licensed professional counselor. These therapy sessions are used to help patients with a number of mental or emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and more. The type of treatment used in individual therapy can vary, depending on the issues and needs of the patient. We often use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and/or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in treating our patients.
Everyone can benefit from individual counseling
Individual counseling is different for everyone. In your initial meeting with a therapist, he or she will learn about your current situation and the circumstances or issues that brought you in. This is generally a good changes for you to meet your therapist and decide if it’s someone you feel comfortable talking to. In the first session, the therapist will create a treatment plan and schedule. Most patients are seen weekly or bi-weekly, but the session schedule will depend on the issues. For example, a person going through a particularly intense life transition may choose to come in several times a week at first.
Individual therapy is a safe space for you to discuss any and all aspects of your life, including career, relationships, stress, self-confidence, motivation, and countless other issues. Your therapist is there to listen and make suggestions, not judgments. By meeting one-on-one, it’s a chance for you to discuss and explore issues that are sensitive.
Individual counseling is often done in conjunction with couples or family therapy. For example, if you are dealing with infidelity and trust issues, your therapist may work with you on an individual basis, but also work with you and your partner as a couple.
