Whether you’re managing anxiety, processing trauma, or trying to break free from addiction, healing often begins with a single conversation. Not in a crowded room. Not in front of a group. But one-on-one with someone who truly listens.
Individual counseling gives you space to unpack your story, untangle your thoughts, and build a path forward. It’s more than just venting. It’s guided recovery, rooted in evidence-based techniques and built around your unique life experiences.
If you’re located in Columbus, keep reading to learn more about individual counseling and how Ridgeline Recovery can support you. We believe that specialized, private therapy is a powerful foundation for long-term mental and emotional health.
What Is Individual Counseling?
Individual counseling, also known as one-on-one therapy, is a confidential space to work through emotional, psychological, or behavioral issues with a licensed therapist.
You meet regularly—weekly, biweekly, or as needed—to explore challenges and create strategies that actually work for your life.
Common approaches include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Reshape negative thought patterns
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Improve emotion regulation and mindfulness
- Trauma-Informed Care – Understand how past experiences impact current behavior
- Motivational Interviewing – Strengthen your own desire to change
No two sessions are alike because no two people are alike. That’s what makes individual therapy so effective—it meets you where you are.
Who Benefits from Individual Counseling?
Everyone benefits from individual counseling. But especially:
- People living with depression, anxiety, or PTSD
- Survivors of trauma or domestic violence
- Individuals recovering from substance use disorders
- Those facing major life changes or feeling stuck emotionally
- People who’ve tried other treatments but need something more personal
Whether you’re at the start of your healing journey or somewhere in the middle, individual counseling can help clarify your next step and give you tools to take it.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.

- Integration with Other Services
You can pair individual therapy with our group therapy, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or aftercare planning to build a more complete recovery path.
