Book an Appointment
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so your therapist shouldn't be either. The clinicians at Kentucky Services come from diverse backgrounds, each with their own clinical specialties, so you can find a fit that actually works for you.
Who Individual Counseling Helps
- Anxiety that shows up as racing thoughts, physical tension, or trouble sleeping
- Depression, low motivation, or a persistent flat mood
- Grief after losing someone or something important
- A major life transition, like a divorce, job change, or new diagnosis
- Trauma or PTSD-related symptoms
- Self-esteem, identity, or confidence struggles
- Relationship or family stress you want to process on your own first
- If you're not sure your concern "counts," it does. Most people wait longer than they need to before reaching out.
What Your First Few Sessions Look Like
Session One
Focuses entirely on getting to know you: your history, what's going on right now, and what you're hoping therapy will change. Nothing is decided for you in this session, it's a conversation.
The Next Few Sessions
You and your therapist start building a plan together. This might mean naming specific goals, picking a treatment approach, or simply agreeing on what to focus on first.
Ongoing Sessions
Typically happen weekly or biweekly. Your therapist checks in on progress along the way and adjusts the plan as your needs shift, rather than running a fixed script for months at a time.
Modalities Our Therapists Use
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - building skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) - a faster path to processing traumatic memories without dwelling on every detail
- EMDR - trauma-focused therapy using guided eye movements
- Brainspotting - identifying and processing trauma through focused eye positions

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?
If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or a life transition and want dedicated space to work through it with a professional, individual therapy is a good starting point. If you're unsure, our scheduling team can help you decide between individual, couples, or family counseling.
Does Medicaid cover individual therapy in Kentucky?
Yes. Kentucky Medicaid is accepted, along with most commercial insurance plans and private pay.
How often will I have sessions?
Most clients start with weekly sessions and adjust frequency over time based on progress and goals, in collaboration with their therapist.
What if I don't feel a connection with my first therapist?
That happens sometimes, and it's not a failure on your part. Tell our scheduling team, and we'll match you with someone else on the team, no need to start the intake process over.
Can I do individual therapy by telehealth?
Yes. Online sessions are available for clients anywhere in Kentucky, in addition to in-person appointments at our Lexington and Danville offices.
How long does someone typically stay in therapy?
It depends entirely on your goals. Some clients come for a few months to work through a specific issue, others stay longer for ongoing support. Your therapist will check in with you regularly about whether your current pace still makes sense.
