You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone
Whether you're carrying something specific or just know something isn't working, individual therapy gives you a dedicated space to make sense of it. You don't need to arrive with a clear problem. You need to be willing to show up.
What Is Individual Therapy, and Is It Right for You?
Individual therapy (also called individual counseling or one-on-one therapy) is a structured, confidential process between a client and a licensed therapist. Unlike couples or group therapy, sessions focus entirely on you: your history, your patterns, your goals. At The Relationship Institute in Spanish Fork, individual therapy sessions run 50 minutes and are typically held weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs and schedule.
This is also the only service we offer that most major insurance plans cover, including Select Health, BCBS, United Healthcare, Aetna, Anthem, and Cigna. Private pay is available at $145 per session. If cost has felt like a barrier, this page explains your options in full.
What Individual Therapy Can Help With
Individual therapy at The Relationship Institute isn't limited to one type of problem. These are the concerns we most commonly work with.
Anxiety and Stress
Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and performance anxiety are among the most common reasons adults start therapy. Sessions focus on understanding the patterns behind the anxiety, not just managing symptoms, and building practical tools that work in real life. We draw on Relational Life Therapy and attachment-informed approaches to help clients understand why their nervous system responds the way it does and how to shift that over time.
Depression and Low Mood
Depression often shows up not as sadness but as numbness, disconnection, or a persistent sense that nothing is working. Individual therapy gives it a structure: a weekly space to understand what is driving the low mood, what is keeping it in place, and what evidence-based steps actually move the needle. We do not treat depression as a background condition to acknowledge and move past. It gets named and worked directly.
Relationship Patterns and Codependency
Many clients come individually because their most pressing pain is relational: a pattern they keep repeating, a relationship that has them questioning their sense of self, or codependent dynamics they cannot break on their own. Individual therapy addresses the internal side of relational pain: attachment patterns, self-worth, the habits of thought and behavior that keep showing up across relationships. Learn more about codependency therapy.
Grief and Loss
Grief does not follow a schedule and does not always respond to what friends and family can offer. Individual therapy gives loss a dedicated space, one without the pressure to be further along, or to protect someone else in the room. We work with grief from the loss of a person, a relationship, a role, or a version of yourself. Learn more about grief and loss counseling.
Faith and Spirituality Questions
Spanish Fork and Utah County have a significant LDS population navigating questions their community does not always have room for: faith transitions, doctrinal doubts, religious trauma, the gap between what they believe and what they feel. Our approach makes room for all of this without any agenda about where clients should land. Learn more about faith and spirituality counseling.
Life Transitions and Personal Growth
Not every reason to start therapy is a crisis. Clients in their 20s and 30s often come in during periods of change: a career shift, the end of a relationship, a move, the slow realization that the life they built does not fit anymore. Individual therapy for life transitions is less about fixing a problem and more about getting clear on what you actually want and building the capacity to go after it.
Our Approach to Individual Therapy in Spanish Fork
We do not apply a single method to every client. Our approach in individual sessions draws on the frameworks with the strongest evidence base for the kinds of concerns most people bring.
Relational Life Therapy (Individual Format)
RLT has an individual application alongside the couples work it is best known for. In one-on-one sessions, it focuses on the adaptive patterns clients developed early in life: the strategies that helped at the time but now create friction in relationships, at work, and with themselves. Sessions are direct and practical: we name what we see, offer real tools, and work toward results rather than circling the same material indefinitely.
Attachment-Informed Therapy
Early attachment experiences shape how adults regulate emotion, seek connection, and respond to conflict. Working with these patterns in individual therapy, understanding where they came from and how they show up now, is one of the most reliable paths to lasting change. This framework is effective for anxiety, depression, codependency, and persistent relationship difficulties.
Faith-Sensitive Approach
Clients can bring their beliefs, doubts, or faith transitions into the room without judgment and without any pressure about where they should land. We follow the client's lead. This is not faith-based therapy with a doctrinal frame. It is therapy that does not require you to set your beliefs aside to do the work.
Individual Therapy and Couples Work: How They Fit Together
Not every relational problem is best addressed in the couples room. Some people come to individual therapy first because they want to understand their own patterns before working on the relationship alongside a partner. Others do individual work concurrently with couples sessions, addressing different layers at the same time.
We can help you figure out which structure makes sense based on what you are actually carrying. If you are uncertain whether to start with individual or couples therapy, that is a normal question, and it is worth a conversation before you commit to either. Engaged couples can also look at premarital counseling.
There are ethical considerations when the same therapist provides both individual and couples sessions for one client. We can discuss the best configuration during an intake call.
