Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a process where a person works one-on-one with a trained therapist to explore and address personal issues, mental health concerns, or emotional challenges.

 

The therapist provides a safe and confidential space for the individual to talk about their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through this process, the therapist helps the person gain insights, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal growth or specific goals, such as reducing anxiety, overcoming trauma, or improving relationships.

 

The approach and techniques used in individual therapy can vary depending on the therapist's training and the client's needs.
