Individual Therapy involves client and therapist in a one-to-one situation. Individual therapy sessions are scheduled for at least once a week and usually last for 45-50 minutes, giving the therapist the remainder of the hour to make notes, which will aid in further treatment. Individual therapy works best for people who may not be comfortable in a group setting or whose specific problems do not lend themselves to group discussion.
Sometimes, clients start out in individual therapy and move on to a therapy group after the initial crisis is resolved. Couples therapy is effective for marriage or divorce counseling, relationships difficulties, or premarital counseling. Each person has the opportunity to express his/her feelings and point of view, with the therapist acting as a neutral sounding board for their conflicts and complaints.
Couples therapy identifies the underlying issues in the relationship and teaches the couple communication skills and conflict-resolution techniques for resolving them.
