Individual Counseling

Understanding Individual Counseling

Individual counseling is a confidential, one-on-one therapeutic process that focuses on personal growth, emotional healing, and self-discovery. It’s an opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, non-judgmental environment with the support of a trained therapist. Whether you’re facing overwhelming stress, battling anxiety or depression, or seeking clarity during a life transition, individual therapy provides a tailored approach to your specific challenges.

What to Expect from Individual Counseling

In individual counseling sessions at Beyond the Couch Counseling, you are the center of focus. Sessions typically last about 60 minutes and are designed to meet your unique needs. Our therapists create a welcoming environment, where you can share openly and receive professional guidance. The goal is to identify the root causes of emotional pain or distress and work through them using practical tools and strategies. We do not use a one size fits all approach. Understand that your care matters deeply to us. 

Common Issues We Address in Individual Therapy:

  • Anxiety and panic disorders
  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Stress management and burnout
  • Grief and loss
  • Identity and self-esteem concerns
  • Life transitions and personal development
  • Career-related stress and decision making

Our Approach

Our therapists use evidence-based treatment methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Based CBT, and Person-Centered Therapy to support your emotional well-being. We tailor the treatment process to fit your needs and aspirations. We do not use a one size fits all approach. We want you to understand that your care matters deeply to us.
