Individual Therapy Q & A

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy is personal counseling that gives you the opportunity to get the professional guidance you need in a one-on-one setting.

Group therapy allows you to work through problems and experience others’ perspectives on challenges you’re also facing. Individual therapy focuses specifically on your needs.

By working directly with a trained mental health professional, you can gain a better understanding of your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Steven and the team at Worrier 2 Warrior use their training and experience to help you set personal goals, make positive changes, and learn helpful coping mechanisms.

Who can benefit from individual therapy?

Nearly anyone can benefit from individual therapy. Even if you feel satisfied with your life overall, talking to a mental health professional can help you unpack unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, tackle future problems, and develop good problem-solving skills.

Individual therapy is particularly helpful if you’re experiencing social, emotional, or environmental obstacles to your mental health, such as:

Depression
Anxiety
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Marital issues and relationship problems
Difficulties at school or work
Career changes
Grief
Parenting challenges
Schizophrenia
Bipolar disorder
Low self-esteem
Sleep disorders
Sexual disorders
Financial stress
Eating disorders

These one-on-one sessions are an opportunity to work on your personal growth in a caring, comfortable, confidential environment.

What does individual therapy involve?

The goal of any individual counseling session is to help you enjoy a higher quality of life.

Before they can help you reach your goals and overcome any challenges standing in your way, Steven and the team must first gather information about your specific needs. During your first session, they may ask questions about your family, career, relationships, life goals, and more.

From there, the team can help you work on:

Eliminating negative thoughts and behaviors
Reducing stress and anxiety
Resolving conflicts
Establishing helpful coping mechanisms
Creating new problem-solving skills
Expressing your thoughts and emotions

Worrier 2 Warrior primarily conducts teletherapy visits, but don’t hesitate to reach out to the team if you want an in-person session. Most therapy sessions last for about 45 minutes. After your initial appointment, you and the team can determine the frequency of your sessions.
