Individual Therapy

Supporting People Through Life’s Challenges

Life has a way of bringing us to unexpected crossroads. You may feel weighed down by grief, stress, anxiety, or depression. Or you may find yourself navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, or career shifts that leave you questioning your next step.

Individual counseling provides a safe, supportive space to pause, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity. Whether you’re feeling stuck, searching for direction, or simply wanting to grow, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and create the life you want.

Why Adults Seek Individual Counseling

At GLT, we specialize in adult therapy for a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Anxiety and stress management

  • Depression and mood challenges

  • Grief and loss support

  • Prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum — including emotional changes, identity shifts, and the transition to parenthood

  • Relationship issues (within or outside of couples work)

  • Life transitions: moves, breakups, new roles, parenthood, retirement

  • Career changes or workplace stress

  • Self-esteem, identity, and personal growth

  • Goal-setting and motivation

Every client’s story is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet you where you are.

Our Approach to Individual Therapy

Therapy at GLT is not one-size-fits-all. We use evidence-based practices to help you explore what’s holding you back and build tools for lasting change.

Our therapeutic approaches include:

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Living in alignment with your values

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Reframing unhelpful thoughts and patterns

  • Mindfulness-based techniques: Reducing stress and building resilience

  • Person-centered therapy: Offering compassion, authenticity, and collaboration

What to Expect in Sessions

  • Collaboration: You set the goals — we’ll help you reach them

  • Active, engaging sessions: Practical tools you can use in daily life

  • Focus on growth and resilience: Understanding old patterns and creating new ones

  • Compassion + accountability: A safe space paired with gentle encouragement to change

Fees and Session Length

  • Who we see: Adults only (18+)

  • Session length: 53–57 minutes

  • Format: In-person therapy in Albany, NY, or online therapy available anywhere in New York State

  • Insurance: We currently accept CDPHP, BlueCross BlueShield plans, and private pay for individual therapy (see insurance page for details)

Is Individual Counseling Right for Me?

Therapy can help whether you’re:

  • Overwhelmed and needing tools to cope

  • Grieving a loss or navigating major life change

  • Struggling with ongoing patterns you want to break

  • Seeking clarity and direction in your next life stage

  • Experiencing pregnancy or postpartum challenges

  • Wanting support to grow, heal, and live more fully

You don’t have to go through this alone. Therapy provides a place to process, heal, and move forward at your own pace.
