Individual Counseling FAQs

What therapeutic approaches do you use?

I take a flexible approach, combining different therapies based on your needs. This includes client-centered support, behavioral strategies like CBT, DBT, and reality therapy, EMDR for trauma, and mindfulness to build self-awareness and resilience.

Do you offer telehealth or in-person sessions?

I offer both in-person and virtual counseling options to meet your preferences and schedule. We can discuss the best format for you during our initial consultation.

What can I expect from individual counseling?

In individual counseling, we work together to explore your concerns, identify goals, and develop personalized strategies to help you make meaningful change. Whether you’re struggling with mood, relationships, or stress, you’ll receive focused support tailored to your unique needs.

Is counseling confidential?

Yes, your privacy is my top priority. All counseling sessions are confidential, with exceptions for safety concerns as required by law. I will always explain confidentiality guidelines at the start of our work together.

How do I know if individual counseling will work for me?

Counseling can be incredibly effective when you're ready to work on your goals. We’ll collaborate to address your concerns, and I’ll support you in making progress at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

How do I get started?

You can reach out through my contact form to schedule an initial consultation. This meeting allows us to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and determine the best approach for your situation.

How long are the sessions, and how often will we meet?

Sessions typically last 53 minutes and are scheduled weekly or bi-weekly based on your needs. We can discuss the frequency that works best for you during our first meeting.

What if I’m unsure about starting counseling?

It’s normal to feel uncertain. In our first meeting, we can discuss your goals and any hesitations you might have. I’m here to answer any questions and help you decide if counseling is the right step for you.

Why is my insurance listed under multiple locations?

Some clients choose a mix of in-person and telehealth sessions. If you plan to have in-person sessions, check which location accepts your insurance. Telehealth is always available as a flexible option if you need to switch a scheduled in-person session to virtual.
