Individual Therapy for Adults
Individual therapy provides a supportive, confidential setting to explore personal concerns, better understand patterns in your thoughts and emotions, and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges.
Dr. Sample provides individual psychotherapy for adults age 18 and older through secure telehealth. He works collaboratively with clients to identify concerns, clarify goals, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.
What Can Individual Therapy Help With?
People seek therapy for many different reasons. Individual therapy may help you explore and address concerns such as:
Anxiety and excessive worry
Depression and low mood
Stress and life transitions
Relationship and communication difficulties
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Self-understanding, identity, and personal growth
Other emotional or psychological concerns
Treatment is individualized according to your needs, experiences, and goals.
My Approach to Therapy
Effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, compassion, and collaboration.
My approach is informed by evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Depending on your concerns and goals, therapy may focus on recognizing unhelpful patterns, developing practical coping strategies, managing emotions, improving problem-solving, and making meaningful changes.
Therapy is a collaborative process. We will work together to identify what matters to you and determine which approaches may be helpful.

What to Expect
Beginning therapy can bring up questions about what to discuss or how the process works. Initial sessions provide an opportunity to talk about your concerns, identify goals, and consider whether working together feels like a good fit.
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. We can begin with the concerns that feel most important to you and work from there.
Request a Consultation
A 15-minute consultation is available to discuss your needs, ask questions, and explore whether individual therapy may be a good fit for you.
