Individual therapy can be used to treat specific mental health conditions, such as anxiety, ADHD, or depression. It can also be used to treat challenges or problems within a relationship, to help learn and implement better stress management techniques, or to understand and wade through career and life decisions. There are many great benefits to individual therapy and working one-on-one with a licensed professional. Individual therapy is also called therapy, psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy, talk therapy, and counseling.
