Individual Therapy That Moves You Forward
Life can feel overwhelming, even when everything looks fine on the outside. If you're constantly stressed, overthinking every decision, or feeling emotionally stuck, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Therapy That Gets to the Heart of It
Individual therapy offers more than just a place to vent; it offers a space to pause, exhale, and reconnect with what matters.
It’s where you get to be honest about what’s weighing you down, without having to explain it all perfectly.
With me, therapy is short-term and structured, typically 8 to 12 sessions, because support should help you feel better, not become another endless obligation. We focus on what’s real, what’s next, and how to create movement that feels both sustainable and empowering.
What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy (also called one-on-one counseling) is a collaborative process between you and me — designed to help you sort through what’s hard, understand why it’s happening, and build real tools to move forward.
Our work is:
Individual therapy, also known as one-on-one counseling, is a supportive, collaborative space where we work together to understand what’s been weighing on you and why it’s been so hard to move forward. It’s not about endless venting or digging into the past forever. It’s about getting clarity, building real tools, and creating momentum that lasts.
At Susan Delia Counseling & Consulting, individual therapy is:
- Short-term and solution-focused — Most clients start noticing real changes in 8 to 12 sessions.
- Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — CBT helps us identify the thoughts, habits, and beliefs that are fueling your stress, anxiety, or low mood. Together, we shift those patterns to support more balanced thinking and behavior.
- Informed by Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — SFBT is all about progress. Instead of focusing only on problems, we focus on what’s already working and how to build on it. You’ll set clear goals, and we’ll build on your strengths to move you forward.
Understanding Anxiety, Depression, and Overwhelm
Anxiety
Often shows up as racing thoughts, constant worry, or physical symptoms like tension and restlessness. It can make you feel like your mind is always on high alert — even when there’s no clear danger.
Depression
can feel like a fog that won’t lift. You might feel hopeless, disconnected, or emotionally flat even if you’re doing “all the right things.”
Emotional overwhelm
is when life feels like too much. You may be juggling responsibilities, emotions, and expectations that leave you mentally and physically drained.
All of these are signals from your body and mind and they deserve compassionate attention, not judgment.
You Might Be Here Because:
- You’re anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out
- You lie awake at night with looping thoughts
- You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing, or shutting down
- You feel stuck in sadness, frustration, or emotional fatigue
These aren’t signs of failure, they’re signs that something deeper needs attention. And it’s okay to want support that actually helps.
