There are many distinct types of individual therapy, and various circumstances require various mental health therapy techniques. Some of them are listed below.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)- Although initially meant to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), several counselors now use it for treating chronic anxiety, depression, and other issues.

Mindfulness Training: Thoroughly dispensed mindfulness training can help you cope better with the severity of a situation. The treatment includes learning how to relax tensed-up muscles, especially in response to a trigger, appreciating simple everyday pleasures through practical exercises, reducing the monotony of daily routine, and more.

Experiential Therapy: Experiential therapy is more immersive and holistic for its takers than other forms of treatment. Experiential therapy emphasizes action over talk, helping clients unlock alternative modes of healing.

Relapse Prevention Therapy: This form of cognitive behavioral therapy helps people develop skills to prevent a foreseeable relapse. RPT plays a crucial role in a successful rehabilitation program.

Mirror Therapy: Mirror therapy is primarily directed toward amputees and stroke issues. It is used to create the reflective illusion of the affected limb to trick the amputee's brain into thinking that movement has occurred in the removed limb without pain.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy - A relatively new dialectical behavioral therapy, or DBT, emphasizes the development of new abilities to lessen obstacles. Mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional control are all skill modules.

Solution-Focused - The personal therapist works one-on-one with clients to analyze how they have handled issues in the past, potential exceptions, and potential next steps.

Existential Counseling - Existential Counseling in individual therapy sessions offers a holistic approach to treatment sessions that existential therapy attempts to provide. It's a treatment approach that aims to objectively examine the entirety of the individual's experience rather than simply the past.

Individuals can confidentially discuss issues or events with a skilled professional or personal therapist during individual therapy sessions. While it may not always solve problems, it does provide people with the tools they need to deal with them more effectively. Other mental and behavioral health treatments, including family therapy or drug abuse counseling, may be combined with this kind of therapy.

Individual therapy programs typically last a few months to even years. The frequency and duration of therapy will mostly depend on your needs, treatment goals, and progress.

Your first session with a Lifebulb therapist or counselor won't simply be a background or demographic information-gathering session. We know deciding to get help is a big deal and a difficult step. That's why our first session with you will be about providing you with the help you're seeking and proving that the personal therapy process can work with the right effort and commitment from both sides.

Getting access to a therapist or counselor should be quick and easy. So Our process is straightforward. Browse our therapists' bios to find the right fit for you and schedule a virtual counseling or in-person counseling session online. Or call our office, and a team member can help ensure you're matched with the right therapist or counselor for you and your goals, whether online therapy or offline personal therapy; your personal therapist will help you with an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your specific goals.

If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911 immediately.

While Lifebulb is not a crisis center and Lifebulb therapists and counselors are not emergency services, we understand that urgent matters can and will pop up from time to time. You will have direct email and phone access to your therapist, who will make their best effort to be available to you when you reach out. Depending on your specific treatment plan, your therapist may provide you with resources to use or contact when situations occur beyond the scope of your therapy work together.

When you book a session with your personal therapist or counselor, our team will email you a confirmation of your appointment date and time with a link to the virtual personal therapy room. Click the link and log in to the virtual personal therapy room a few minutes before your session, and your therapist will meet you there.

Booking a session with us is easy and flexible, with several options. You can call our office, and a team member can book you with the best fit-in therapist. We'll review insurance information and a few simple policies and email you a confirmation of your session date and time, whether in-person or virtual. Or you can select your ideal therapist from our website, choose a session time that works for you, and we'll reach out to you to confirm your appointment details.

We have a flexible cancellation policy. Call our office, online therapy center or reach out to your counselor or therapist 24 hours or more before your individual therapy session time to cancel or reschedule any appointment at no cost.

We accept many major commercial insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Tricare, Medicare, and others. If you are still waiting to see your insurance listed, we would be happy to verify your benefits to see if we can accept them, and if not, offer you an affordable self-pay rate.

At Lifebulb, we operate without any ongoing membership or fees. Everyone deserves to receive the best possible individual therapy experience. And those benefits should come free of any ongoing out-of-pocket fees simply for engaging in therapy. With us, your only session costs will be those set by your insurance provider or our low self-pay rate.

While many practices accept only self-pay clients or out-of-network benefits, at Lifebulb, we aim to keep your costs low by accepting most major insurance plans. Often the out-of-pocket expense per session is a low copay determined by your specific insurance provider and plan. We also offer a self-pay rate lower than many practices for those without insurance or simply preferring not to use their healthcare benefits for in-person or virtual individual therapy.

At Lifebulb, we are extremely picky about who we hire to help you achieve your individual therapy goals. But we understand that every therapist may not be the perfect match for every client. If your therapy experience is less than you hoped, we will help you get set up to see someone you prefer.

While the majority of our clients opt to have their insurance benefits, we offer a self-pay rate as low as $99, which may vary slightly by geography and therapist licensure.

We take the responsibility of maintaining your privacy seriously. Lifebulb is considered a covered entity under HIPAA guidelines, which means we are subject to all HIPAA rules and regulations. If you have any questions (or recommendations) about our privacy and security practices, we want to help. Contact us at privacy@lifebulb.com.

Therapists that don't enjoy their workplace are often, unfortunately, unable to provide their clients with the best possible level of counseling and personal therapy. That's why at Lifebulb, our therapists are our top priority. This means that your counselor or therapist can provide you, their client, with the best possible service because they enjoy the work they do in session with you, where they work, and who they work with.

Our virtual individual therapy sessions are all conducted by our therapists in private spaces, and our video platform is contained within our HIPAA-compliant Electronic Health Records system, so your face, voice, and data are always private and protected.

At Lifebulb, our biggest difference lies in our therapists. Many practices, large and small, often put growing businesses before growing people. It may sound simple, but at Lifebulb, we treat our therapists like valuable people that provide a valuable individual therapy service. What does that mean for our clients? While we believe therapists and counselors, regardless of where they work, do their best for their clients, we've found that therapists who genuinely enjoy where they work are able to provide higher-quality services to those they help. To that end, our primary goal at Lifebulb is to provide our therapists with the best possible environment in which to operate. In doing so, we believe Lifebulb clients are best positioned to accomplish their therapy goals through in-person counseling or virtual individual therapy.

At Lifebulb, we are extremely selective about the therapists we hire because we know choosing the right therapist can make all the difference in our clients reaching their goals. Our therapists are all educated at the masters level and above and have received several years of hands-on training before becoming fully licensed clinicians. Even among the pool of highly trained therapists, we only work with those who align with our core values. That way, we know your therapist will go the extra mile to help you and offer the best online therapy or in-person counseling.

Lifebulb has several locations for providing in-person counseling and is adding more regularly. We also provide telehealth or online therapy session services for those who may live distant from our offices.

All our counselors are highly educated and trained and have received their full clinical licensure from practicing counseling. We also thoroughly interview each of our therapists, ensure that they pass a background check, and train them in-house to work with us. Additionally, we ensure that each of our counselors and therapists participates in ongoing education to continue to provide the best in-person and online therapy services possible.

It is important that our clients work with the best possible fit as a personal therapist for their specific needs. This is why we provide detailed bios of our therapists for our clients to review before reaching out to us. If you have a specific personal therapist in mind to work with, we would be happy to schedule you to see them. We also understand that our clients don't always match perfectly with their therapist, and in the case of a less-than-great fit, we will help you to find the right match among our team and, if necessary, provide the best referral we can to someone more suited to help you beyond our walls.

A professional counselor is a master- or PhD-level mental health professional approved by a state licensure board to diagnose and treat mental health disorders. The exact name of a professional counselor's license can vary by state, but some of the most common are: Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).

We do employ licensed clinical psychologists, as psychologists can offer personal therapy services, such as individual therapy psychological testing, that many other license types are unable to offer. Many times, your counselor or therapist can work in tandem with a psychologist to provide therapy and psychological testing when necessary to better provide for your specific needs or goals. In this way, we are able to better provide for a wider range of your needs.
