What is individual therapy, and how is it different from couples or family work?

Individual therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and move toward greater stability, clarity, and healing. At Bozeman Therapy & Counseling, we work with adults who want support understanding themselves more deeply, navigating emotional pain, and creating meaningful change in their lives and relationships.

Therapy gives you a place to understand yourself, not just get through the hard days.

What can individual therapy help with?

Individual therapy can support you if you are experiencing:

  • Anxiety, worry, or chronic stress
  • Depression, sadness, or loss of motivation
  • Trauma or the effects of overwhelming experiences
  • Grief and loss
  • Relationship struggles or repeating relational patterns
  • Life transitions, identity questions, or burnout

How we work: our approaches to individual therapy

We help clients understand not only what they are feeling, but the underlying patterns, experiences, and protective strategies shaping those feelings. Depending on your needs and the clinician you work with, therapy may involve exploring emotional and relationship patterns, understanding how past experiences affect the present, identifying protective responses such as withdrawal or perfectionism, and building greater emotional awareness and self-compassion. The goal is not only symptom relief, but deeper understanding, stronger internal stability, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Our clinicians draw on several evidence-based approaches, matched to what you are working on rather than applied by default. Sessions are 60 minutes, usually weekly to start, moving to every other week as things steady.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT). An attachment-based model that works with the emotions underneath anxiety, shutdown, and self-criticism. Several of our clinicians have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy. More about EFiT →

Internal Family Systems (IFS). A parts-based approach for people who feel pulled in different directions inside, between the part that wants change and the part that protects against it. More about IFS →

Attachment-based therapy. Looks at how early relationships shaped the patterns you repeat now, in friendships, at work, and with partners. More about attachment-based therapy →

Trauma-informed care. Paced work that puts safety and nervous-system regulation first, before processing difficult memories. More about trauma therapy →

What a session looks like, week to week

Therapy is a place to bring what feels difficult, confusing, or unfinished. Clients often begin to notice the patterns underneath anxiety, stress, grief, or disconnection, understand how past experiences influence present emotions, recognize how they protect themselves when overwhelmed, and develop more grounded, compassionate ways of responding to themselves. This work can help you feel less stuck and more able to move through life with clarity and steadiness.

What does individual therapy cost in Bozeman?

Individual therapy sessions at Bozeman Therapy & Counseling are $200 to $250 for a 60-minute session, depending on which clinician you see. Most people start weekly and move to every other week as things steady.

Is individual therapy right for me?

You do not need to be in crisis to begin therapy. Many people start because they are tired of carrying pain alone, repeating the same patterns, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Therapy can support you when life feels heavy and when you simply want to grow and understand yourself more clearly. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin.

How much does individual therapy cost in Bozeman?

Individual therapy is $200 to $250 for a 60-minute session, depending on the clinician. What you actually pay depends on your insurance, including your deductible, copay and network status. We are in network with many major plans and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. See our Insurance and Fees page for the full breakdown.

Does insurance cover individual therapy in Montana?

Often, yes. We are in network with many major plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna and Cigna. Coverage still depends on your specific plan, deductible and copay. If we are out of network with your insurer, we provide superbills you can submit for possible reimbursement.

How long is a therapy session, and how often will I come?

Sessions are 60 minutes. Most people begin weekly, which gives the work enough continuity to build momentum, then move to every other week as things stabilize. How long therapy lasts varies widely: some people come for a few months, others stay longer to work on deeper patterns.

What happens in a first individual therapy session?

The first session is mostly getting to know you. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, what you have already tried, and what you would like to be different. There is no pressure to tell your whole story or to have your goals figured out beforehand.

Should I start with individual therapy or couples therapy?

It depends on what you want to change. If the distress lives mostly inside you, such as anxiety, grief, self-criticism or old patterns, start with individual therapy. If the recurring problem is the relationship itself, couples therapy is usually the better entry point. Some people do both. See couples therapy in Bozeman →

What are the different types of individual therapy?

Individual therapy is a category, not a single method. Common approaches include attachment-based therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy and trauma-informed care. Our clinicians draw on these, matched to what you are working on rather than applied by default.

What is the difference between a counselor, a therapist and a psychologist?

The titles reflect different licenses and training. Licensed counselors and clinical social workers, such as LCPCs and LCSWs, hold master's degrees and provide talk therapy. Psychologists hold doctoral degrees and can also conduct psychological testing. Our team is made up of licensed counselors and clinical social workers.

Is what I say in individual therapy confidential?

Yes, with narrow legal exceptions. What you say in session stays between you and your therapist and is protected by law. Therapists are required to break confidentiality only in limited situations, such as a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, suspected abuse of a child or vulnerable adult, or a court order.
