Individual Therapy

Online individual therapy appears as a journey that people facing different problems at various periods of their lives take towards the need to search for answers to many questions such as how to act in the face of these situations, what the source of the problem is, what this situation means, and how to cope with this process, and the need to be well. The online psychologist, on the other hand, accompanies the client throughout this process and becomes their greatest guide on this journey.

One of the most important points in online individual therapy is the therapeutic relationship established based on trust between the client and the therapist. This relationship is actually one of the important factors determining how much efficiency the client will get from online therapy. The healthy progression of this bond between the client and the therapist is possible with mutual cooperation.

People may need online individual therapy for various reasons. Sometimes we may need online individual therapy for many reasons such as getting to know ourselves better, sometimes overcoming a problem, sometimes discovering our strengths and weaknesses. With online individual therapy, we improve our mental health while also learning to maintain this mental health. In summary, online individual therapy forms a support for individuals at every point of human life where help is needed.

While our relationship with our social life progresses in line with our choices at some points of life, sometimes it progresses outside our control. The points where we both have control and lose control are the critical times when we need online individual therapy. Chosen lonelinesses, forced separations, untimely loves constitute a part of our social life, and what will make these parts more livable is online individual counseling. Similarly, physical ailments that happen to us unexpectedly outside our control and responsibility initially take place in our lives merely as a physical ailment, but suddenly these ailments can turn into psychological ailments, and these psychological ailments can turn into new physical ailments, causing a vicious circle. What will break this cycle is professional support.

Although individual therapy has many goals, making clients feel mentally well, which is the main subject of psychological science and every therapy school, and stabilizing this good mood within possibilities constitute the main goal of online individual therapy. Online individual counseling aims for the person to gain self-confidence and realize their potential along with feeling better. In this way, the individual gets to know their strengths and weaknesses better and moves forward with more confident and healthy steps on the way to their personal goals.

Likewise, online individual therapy aims for people to reconsider their relationship styles in daily life and organize these relationship schemas. As a result of organizations and improvements, it also wants to increase the efficiency obtained from relationships. The goals of online individual therapy can be multiplied, but all goals serve a single subject: mental well-being. This mental well-being increases the quality of life while on the one hand providing us with the necessary motivation to look to the future with more hope.

First of all, online individual therapy starts with a trust-based cooperation established between the therapist and the client. In the first sessions, mostly the client's reason for applying to online therapy, their thoughts about the problem, current complaints, and expectations from online therapy are addressed and discussed. After all these interviews, the online psychologist plans the online therapy and determines the most suitable therapy method by identifying in which direction the online therapy will go and what the purpose of this therapy process is, in line with the information received from the client.

Although it varies according to the school the therapist themselves belong to and the therapy method they deem appropriate, mostly the sessions consist of 50-60 minute periods, and these interviews are held once or twice a week. These methods mostly consist of various methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), psychodynamic therapy, and existential therapy. How long the online therapy will last varies depending on the client's needs, how willing they are for change, and the scope of the problems. The client is never alone during this journey, and the online psychologist always accompanies them on this journey. For the end of this journey to lead to a beautiful place, the client needs to be active and willing in this process.
