You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re feeling anxious, burned out, disconnected, or simply ready to understand yourself on a deeper level, individual therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore, grow, and heal.

At Thrive Therapy & Counseling, we help you work through what’s holding you back and move toward a life that feels more grounded, balanced, and meaningful.

What Can You Expect in Individual Therapy?

In individual therapy, you can expect:

• To meet once a week or every other week, depending on your needs

• To feel safe, supported, heard, and understood

• To collaborate with your therapist to reach your personal goals

Therapy isn’t about being “fixed” — it’s about having a space where all parts of you are welcome.

Online Therapy

Life can be busy—and sometimes getting to the office isn’t easy. That’s why we offer online therapy throughout California.

It works just like in-person therapy, but from the comfort of your home, office, or any confidential space (as long as you’re in California—that’s where we’re licensed!).

Why Do Online Therapy?

Online sessions can be a great fit if:

• You’re busy and ready to invest in yourself, even with limited time

• You have young children and need flexibility while they’re home

• You feel more comfortable in your own space

• You live elsewhere in California and want to work with our team

What Do You Need for an Online Session?

• A private space—your bedroom, backyard, or even your car

• An internet connection that can stream video

• A computer or device (phone, tablet) with a webcam

• Headphones (optional but helpful)

• Your comfort items—a blanket, water, or your favorite furry friend

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

Whether in-person or online, our goal is to create a space that feels calm, connected, and uniquely yours.

Services are available in person in Sacramento and throughout California via secure online therapy.
