Individual therapy, often called talk therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that provides a confidential space for individuals to work through mental health challenges, emotional struggles, and personal goals. In these individual therapy sessions, clients engage in talk therapy with a licensed mental health professional who can help them address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
Unlike group therapy, individual counseling is solely focused on the client’s personal experiences and goals, allowing for in-depth exploration and customized support. This individualized attention helps clients gain insights into their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, which can be transformative in the process of healing. Talk therapy sessions can vary in structure depending on the client’s needs but often incorporate evidence-based techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy skills, to help clients make meaningful changes in their lives.
