Individual Therapy Intensives for Adults, Online in Texas

Weekly therapy works well for many people. But some work benefits from more uninterrupted time:

• Momentum. When a week passes between sessions, it's easy to lose the thread. A longer block lets insight build on insight without starting over.
• Depth. Painful material often needs time to approach safely. A longer session leaves room to open something up, work with it, and settle again before we close.
• Focus. An intensive is organized around a clear goal, so we can give one concern our full attention.
• Practicality. For people with demanding schedules, travel or caregiving, one protected block can be easier to arrange than a standing weekly hour.

Individual intensives can be a good fit when you want to:

• Understand and shift a long-standing pattern in your relationships, such as people-pleasing, shutting down, or choosing partners who can't meet you.
• Work with painful experiences from your past that still shape how you feel and react today.
• Get to know the protective and wounded parts of you, using Internal Family Systems-informed work.
• Make sense of a life transition, a breakup or divorce, or a decision you feel stuck on. See also life transitions.
• Prepare yourself before or alongside couples therapy, when you can tell some of the work is your own.
• Reconnect with yourself as a helping professional. Therapists sometimes find an intensive easier to fit in than weekly sessions; see therapy for therapists.

I draw on the same approaches I use in weekly individual therapy: mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, cognitive therapy, skill-building, and EMDR when it's a good fit for you.

Intensives ask a lot of your energy and attention, so I'll talk with you carefully about fit before we schedule one. They tend to work best when you have some stability in daily life, a clear sense of what you'd like to focus on, and a plan for gentle self-care afterward.

An intensive may not be the right first step if you're in crisis, having thoughts of harming yourself, actively struggling with substance use, or in an unsafe living situation. If that's where you are, please reach out anyway. We can talk about what kind of support makes sense, whether that's weekly therapy with me or a referral. If you're in immediate danger, call or text 988, or call 911.

1. Free phone consultation. We talk about what you're hoping for, whether an intensive fits, and what format makes sense.
2. 60-minute prep session. Before the intensive, we meet to choose a focus, gather the history that matters, and plan the structure: three or more hours in a single day, or spread over several days, with breaks built in.
3. The intensive. You join by secure video from a private, comfortable space. Have water, snacks and something grounding nearby. We pause for breaks, and we close each session in a settled place.
4. Integration. Many people continue with weekly or occasional individual therapy afterward to keep building on what we started. Others return for another intensive later.

Because I'm licensed in Texas, you'll need to be physically located in Texas during every session.

Intensives have their own pricing schedule, separate from my regular session fees, and depend on the length and format we plan together. I share rates during your free phone consultation. You can see my regular session fees on the rates page.
