Get Individual Therapy Support Today
Individual talk therapy can be used in mental health and addiction treatment as a method that utilizes one-on-one sessions with a mental health professional (therapist). Your therapist will be able to help you navigate the root of mental health disorders and substance abuse issues.
Collaboration and trust between you and your therapist can lead to positive outcomes when it comes to working on mental health issues and going through substance use treatment. When your therapist knows about your background, trauma, close relationships, and other significant aspects of your life, they can paint the best picture for your treatment.
At Clear Behavioral Health, individual therapy is included as a vital part of our treatment programs.
Individual Therapy in Addiction Treatment
During substance abuse treatment, one of the critical modalities is individual talk therapy. This is a time where the entire session with our leading therapists is about you, your past, your future, your struggles, your triggers, and the reasoning behind why you turned to substance use.
Every aspect is centered around your growth and experiences to develop the best treatment plan for your recovery. You’ll also learn how to acknowledge what might be triggers to use substances and tools to maintain your sobriety while preventing relapse.
Individual Therapy in Mental Health Treatment
While in treatment for mental health issues, engaging in individual therapy will give you insight into how you process emotions, behaviors, and your triggers. The more you learn about emotions or how thought processes work, the more our therapists can equip you with appropriate responses. This can be reframing negative thoughts into more constructive and positive thoughts.
We utilize various holistic techniques like mindfulness and meditation to help you learn how to manage big feelings and calm your nervous system. This is a place to understand how to manage your mental health symptoms and a safe space to communicate your needs.

CBT – The Most Common Type of Therapy
While there are many types of addiction and mental health therapies, the most common and prevalent type used in treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT is so popular because it is an effective method that allows you to explore the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Through this modality, your therapist will empower you to identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthy ones. You’ll learn how to manage your emotions while recognizing the link between your behavior and your feelings.
Types of Therapy We Provide
For Addiction and Mental Health Treatment
In addition to CBT, our therapists at Clear Behavioral Health are trained in the following types of mental health and addiction therapy, which may be used throughout your treatment plan:
- Somatic experiencing
- Psychodynamic therapy
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Motivational interviewing
- Gestalt therapy
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
Goals of Individual Therapy for Mental Health and Addiction
The goal in individual therapy is to learn how to manage your emotions and behaviors.
Learn to Cope
When you can learn about different coping skills, it helps you better understand what may work for you, your mental health disorders and/or your recovery.
Coping skills can differ for everyone, so working with a therapist to try various coping skills helps you find the ones that work for you, much quicker. Healthy coping mechanisms can be learned to prevent relapse during your recovery as well.
Manage Your Emotions
If your emotions feel unmanageable and they cause you to act out, you might benefit from learning how to navigate your emotions.
In general, emotions are overwhelming, especially with how often they change and the intensity with which we feel them. Understanding how to navigate big emotions can help you when situations arise that you are not able to process immediately.
Process Childhood
Every single person’s upbringing is different, which is why it’s important to properly process it.
Understanding what may have worked, or what seemed to weigh on you from your childhood, can help you decipher the person you have become. Additionally, it’s a great time to reflect on how you want to rebuild or reframe your mindset around your family unit.
Unpack Trauma
Throughout life, you may experience traumatic events, and in individual therapy, you can unpack a lot of those experiences.
This can not only help you process your emotions for the event, but it can also assist with unpacking any unhealthy coping mechanisms that may no longer serve you.
Become Self Aware
When you attend individual therapy, you gain a lot of self-awareness. This will help you pinpoint mood changes, certain behaviors, and triggers.
Self-awareness is beneficial to track any triggers that might make you relapse, so you can use your coping mechanisms to prevent it.
Get Confidentiality
When you’re in therapy sessions, they’re completely confidential; anything you share with the therapist is kept between you two.
The only way confidentiality doesn’t apply is if you’re going to harm yourself or others. Otherwise, nothing you say to the therapist will be shared with anyone else.

Individual Therapy
as Part of a Comprehensive Treatment Program
Attending individual therapy is recommended for ongoing mental health conditions, substance abuse recovery maintenance, or big life changes.
Individual therapy is the traditional form of mental health and addiction support. However, should your condition need elevated and more frequent support, coupling individual therapy with other types of therapy offered in mental health and addiction treatment programs can give you the best result.
For mental health and addiction conditions that do not require elevated treatment through an inpatient or outpatient program, our sister brand, Neuro Wellness Spa, provides individual therapy sessions through online and in-person talk therapy available throughout California.
