At Red Pine Counseling, we believe that therapy works best when it’s practical, convenient, and meaningful to you. Our approach is centered on creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine care for your wellbeing.

Common approaches to Individual therapy

We utilize various evidence-based therapeutic approaches, selecting techniques that best address your specific needs and preferences:

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to behaviors that align with your personal values. This approach focuses on psychological flexibility and living a meaningful life despite challenges.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT examines how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors. By identifying and changing negative thought patterns, you can develop healthier emotional responses and behaviors.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness, helping you manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop distress tolerance skills.

EMDR therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy helps process traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation, reducing their emotional impact and promoting healing.

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT)
EFT focuses on emotional awareness and expression, helping you identify, explore, and transform core emotional experiences.

Humanistic therapy
This approach emphasizes your inherent worth and capacity for growth, focusing on self-development, personal choices, and the pursuit of self-actualization.

Motivational interviewing
Motivational interviewing helps you resolve ambivalence about change, enhancing your motivation and commitment to positive life changes.

Person-centered therapy (PCT)
PCT creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your experiences and develop your own solutions with empathetic guidance.

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT)
SFBT concentrates on building solutions rather than analyzing problems, focusing on your strengths and resources to create positive change.

FAQs about Individual Therapy

How does individual therapy work?

Individual therapy works through regular one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist.

How long does individual therapy last?

The duration of therapy varies based on your specific goals and circumstances. Some concerns may be addressed in just a few sessions through approaches like Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
