What Is Psychotherapy?

The purpose of psychotherapy is to help a patient identify and change unproductive and troubling thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Psychotherapy involves a professional—a therapist or psychiatrist usually. Psychotherapy is sometimes called “talk therapy,” because the main form of therapy is just talking. A therapist will guide the conversation in a way that’s productive. 

Who Is Psychotherapy for?

Psychotherapy can be for anyone who is going through something where they need support. People may seek psychotherapy for anxiety disorders, mood disorders, addictions, eating disorders, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. In addition to seeking care for a diagnosable mental health condition, thought, psychotherapy can also be useful for:

• Learning how to better manage conflict
• Relieving anxiety or stress
• Coping with major life changes
• Sleeping better
• Coping with sexual disorders 
• Recovering from abuse or other forms of trauma
• Coming to terms with a major life change, positive or negative

Couples, families, and individuals may seek psychotherapy. 

What to Expect During Psychotherapy at CNSL

Psychotherapy can be very personalized and customized to each person’s needs, with no two sessions looking exactly alike. Most patients choose to see a therapist once a week, usually for a 45-minute session. Some patients may choose to go more frequently; others may go less. 

Usually, psychotherapy will involve a therapist asking questions to the patient to help move the conversation. In the beginning, questions may be simple, such as “What brought you here today?” As the patient-therapist relationship evolves, questions may become more personal to help the patient dig deeper. It is up to the patient to set their own goals for therapy and to hold themselves accountable to reaching those goals. Therapy involves doing work both inside and outside of the office. 

Is Psychotherapy Always Effective?

Psychotherapy can be very effective, but it’s important to remember that it doesn’t have instantaneous effects—it can take months or even years of work to achieve the results that are desired. In some cases, psychotherapy is most effective when used in combination with lifestyle changes or/and medication.
