Individual therapy is an umbrella term for any therapy that happens between one person and their chosen therapist. It is the most common type of therapy, and includes all modalities of therapy (e.g. CBT, interpersonal therapy, insight-oriented therapy, EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, etc.). Individual therapy often helps people approach challenging times of their lives with a supportive and trained clinician, making life’s hurdles a little more manageable. Your individual therapist will listen closely to you, may provide some suggestions or homework between sessions, and will try to help you make the choices that are right for you.
