Individual Therapy in Bethesda, MD
If you’ve been going through a challenging time, experiencing specific mental health concerns, or would like some extra support during a life transition, therapy can provide a safe, understanding space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. Whether you’re facing stress, grief, relationship problems, or another issue, Lisa Genser Therapy can provide compassion and support every step of the way. I offer individual therapy in Bethesda, Maryland, and can help you improve your mental, emotional, and physical health.
What Is Individual Therapy?
Many clients seek therapy to feel more connected, present, and at ease in their daily lives. Individual therapy at Lisa Genser Therapy brings both relief and progress in a safe, one-on-one setting. Unlike group or alternative therapy, individual therapy sessions focus solely on your goals, mental health priorities, and unique life circumstances. With individual therapy, you can improve self-awareness and emotional regulation and reconnect with your goals and values. In addition, you can control the timing, pacing, methods used, and the amount of analysis or feedback you receive.
How Individual Therapy Works
Individual therapy begins with careful assessment to identify your main concerns. From there, we establish a specific plan that aligns with your needs and preferences. In a confidential environment, you’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns, developing coping strategies to help you navigate issues with confidence.
Sessions may include the following exercises:
- Identifying thoughts that drive anxiety, self-criticism, or indecision
- Examining behaviors that reinforce conflict or avoidance
- Processing past experiences
- Strengthening communication and boundary-setting skills
- Developing coping strategies to manage stress
Lisa Genser Therapy may incorporate various evidence-based therapeutic modalities into your treatment plan, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, providing you with the insight and tools you need to thrive and live a fulfilling life.
Conditions Treated
Individual therapy allows you to discuss mental health concerns affecting your mood, relationships, and overall well-being. An individual therapist can support clients who are experiencing:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder
- Relationship challenges
- Grief and loss

- Work-related stress

If these emotional or psychological concerns are impacting your life, individual therapy can provide direction and foster healing. Your therapist will take the time to listen to your story, offer space for you to share, and find ways to manage symptoms and reduce distress.
