Individual Therapy

At Olive Branch Therapy Group, we believe that everyone deserves a safe space to process challenges, build resilience, and find peace. Individual therapy (sometimes called talk therapy or psychotherapy) gives you a one-on-one relationship with a licensed therapist who will help you explore your experiences, develop new coping strategies, and create meaningful change in your life.

Whether you are struggling with stress, navigating a major transition, or healing from past trauma, our therapists provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your needs.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled in your life?

Even when we know something in our life isn’t working, fear and hesitation often hold us back. Individual therapy offers a supportive environment where you can explore those fears and take gradual steps toward growth.

When you begin therapy with Olive Branch Therapy Group, you are giving yourself the gift of prioritizing your mental health. The only action required is the willingness to take the first step—you deserve it.

Why Choose Individual Therapy?

One of the main goals of therapy is change—and change is rarely easy.

Our Approach to Therapy

We know that you are the expert of your own life. Our role is to guide, support, and equip you with practical tools and deeper insights so you can navigate challenges with confidence. Every client’s path is unique, and our therapists adapt their style to meet your needs.

Some of the most common therapy approaches we use include:

  • Psychodynamic therapy: Brings unconscious thought patterns and behaviors to light, helping you understand how your past influences your present.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and reframe negative thinking patterns while building healthier habits and coping skills.
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills, especially helpful for intense emotions.
  • Interpersonal therapy (IPT): Focuses on improving communication, building stronger relationships, and addressing the impact of depression or anxiety on your social connections.
  • Mindfulness-based approaches: Encourages present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques to bring balance and calm into daily life.

Your therapy may include one or a blend of these methods. Our therapists carefully match their approach to your goals, values, and preferences.
