The therapist may also teach the person coping skills and help them develop a plan for implementing healthy behaviors.

During individual counseling, the therapist will work with the person to identify their goals for treatment and help them or develop strategies for achieving those goals. The therapist may use a variety of techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, or solution-focused therapy, to help the person understand and address their challenges.
Individual counseling can be beneficial for people of all ages and can be an effective treatment for a wide range of mental health issues. It can help a person develop coping skills, improve communication and problem-solving skills, and increase self-awareness and self-esteem.
