Individual Therapy Sessions

When you’re facing addiction, mental health challenges, or both, it can be hard to know where to start. At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), individual therapy sessions are a key part of the healing process. These one-on-one sessions provide a private, judgment-free space where you can explore what’s happening beneath the surface as you begin building a life in recovery.

Whether you’re beginning treatment for alcohol use, anxiety, trauma, or another issue, individual counseling offers support that’s tailored to you. Every person’s story is different, and your therapy should reflect that.

What Is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as one-on-one therapy or individual counseling, is a private, focused meeting between you and a licensed mental health professional. Unlike group sessions, individual therapy gives you dedicated time and space to explore your personal story, thoughts, and emotions in a completely confidential setting. It’s a place where you can be honest without fear of judgment and where your healing process is the sole focus.

These sessions are not one-size-fits-all. At FACTS, we understand that each person brings a unique history, set of challenges, and goals to treatment. That’s why your therapist works with you to create a tailored approach that aligns with your needs at each stage of healing in the treatment process.

Who Benefits from Individual Therapy?

Our licensed therapists specialize in working with individuals facing a range of challenges, including:

  • Substance Use Disorders: One-on-one therapy for substance abuse allows you to explore the factors that contribute to addiction while developing healthy coping skills to support sobriety.
  • Alcohol Addiction Recovery: Individual sessions help unpack patterns tied to alcohol use and offer strategies for managing urges, repairing relationships, and maintaining long-term wellness.
  • PTSD and Trauma: Many people turn to substances to cope with unresolved trauma. Therapy provides a safe space to process painful memories and initiate the healing process.
  • Dual Diagnosis (Co-Occurring Disorders): If you’re navigating both a mental health disorder and substance use issue, individual therapy helps integrate treatment so that all aspects of your health are addressed together.

A Personalized, Evidence-Based Approach

At FACTS, we use a variety of evidence-based treatment models to support your growth. These include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you recognize and reframe negative thought patterns that fuel addiction or emotional distress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills.

Trauma-Informed Care: Trauma-informed therapy ensures that every aspect of therapy is sensitive to the effects of trauma, prioritizing safety, empowerment, and trust.

No matter your background or starting point, each one-on-one session is designed to meet you where you are with compassion, expertise, and a focus on forward movement. Whether you’re opening up for the first time or working through deeper emotional layers, your therapist will walk beside you at your pace.

How Individual Therapy Helps in Recovery

Healing isn’t always linear, but with consistent, one-on-one support, it becomes more manageable. Individual therapy for substance abuse and mental health provides:

  • Personal Insight: You’ll explore the root causes behind your behaviors, beliefs, and emotional responses. Gaining this insight is often the first step toward real, lasting change.
  • Coping Tools: Your therapist will help you develop healthy coping strategies to handle cravings, manage stress, and avoid relapse triggers—tools you can use for the rest of your life.
  • Emotional Support: Recovery can bring up difficult emotions. Individual counseling gives you a safe space to process guilt, grief, anger, or shame with someone who understands.
  • Accountability and Growth: Regular check-ins with your therapist help keep you focused on your goals, track your progress, and motivate you through every phase of treatment.
