Who Can Benefit From Individual Therapy?
Life can pull you in a hundred directions—endless to‑do lists, relationship demands, and that nagging feeling that you’re not measuring up. Whether you’re a teenager navigating anxiety, a partner struggling to connect or an adult carrying the weight of depression, past hurts, and daily stress, therapy offers a gentle space to pause, catch your breath, and learn the tools you need to heal and thrive.
Our one‑on‑one sessions blend evidence‑based approaches like CBT, EMDR, REBT, and solution‑focused work with active listening, empathic understanding, and unconditional positive regard. Our priority is building a trusting, supportive alliance so you always feel seen and heard. Together, we’ll weave mindfulness into your everyday life, help you spot and challenge distorted thinking, and teach you how to kindly “talk back” to those negative voices—so you can create real, lasting change.
At Blue Chip Counseling & EMDR, you’ll find genuine warmth and down‑to‑earth guidance every step.
Areas We Support Through Individual Therapy
Anxiety, Panic Attacks & OCD
Feelings of constant fear and intrusive thoughts can make life feel out of control; therapy gives you tools to interrupt those patterns and rediscover a sense of calm.
ADHD & Associated Behaviors
Focus, impulsivity, or organization issues can be frustrating. We’ll work together to develop strategies for turning ADHD traits into strengths.
Depression
When everything feels heavy and joy seems out of reach, individual therapy offers a compassionate space to explore your emotions and rekindle hope.
Trauma
Unhealed wounds can keep you in survival mode; we use evidence-based techniques to help you process painful memories and reclaim your life.
Postpartum Depression
The “baby blues” that linger can leave you feeling isolated in what should be a happy time; therapy helps you navigate these emotions and reconnect with yourself and your child.
Men’s Issues
Societal expectations of toughness can make it hard to ask for help; we provide a judgment‑free environment where you can explore your vulnerabilities and build authentic strength.
Building Self‑Confidence & Healthy Living Skills
Low self‑esteem and bad habits can hold you back; therapy supports you in setting realistic goals, celebrating progress, and cultivating lasting self‑worth.
Loneliness & Feeling Misunderstood by Partner
When you feel unseen or unheard in your closest relationship, individual therapy teaches you communication tools and boundary‑setting skills that foster authentic connection.
Overwhelm
Juggling too much can make every day feel like survival; we’ll prioritize what matters, set healthy limits, and develop coping strategies so life feels manageable again.
Parenting Struggles(Young Children through Adult Children)
Family dynamics can be complex and exhausting; therapy helps you understand patterns, strengthen bonds, and parent with confidence and compassion.

Questions About Individual Therapy
What is your approach to therapy?
At Blue Chip Counseling & EMDR, we take a genuinely holistic approach—getting to know you as a whole person: your thoughts and feelings, family background, goals and dreams, and any past traumas. Together, we pinpoint the root causes of what’s holding you back, because real, lasting change comes from addressing the heart of the issue. Along the way, we’ll equip you with practical skills to manage intense or uncomfortable emotions, empowering you to confidently move forward.
I often carry shame about past actions and find it hard to open up to others—what makes therapy here feel different?
At Blue Chip Counseling & EMDR, our providers are genuine people who are deeply honored to support you. We don’t just do this work—we cherish the trust you place in us when you share your most personal stories. We believe in the good within everyone, even when mistakes have been made, and we’re committed to offering a safe, positive space as you navigate the challenges that bring you to therapy.
I have been told that the most successful outcomes for some conditions are a combination of talk therapy and medication management. Is there someone there who can prescribe or monitor my mental health-related medication?
Yes! We’re excited to have Chelsi Hollingshead, Psych NP—a board‑certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience and more than 20 years of prescribing psychiatric medications to patients of Blue Chip Counseling & EMDR. Chelsi is accepting new patients, and for anyone interested, we offer a collaborative team approach where your therapist and prescriber work hand‑in‑hand with you to achieve the results you’re looking for.
I have heard that people in therapy are sometimes vulnerable to being guided in weird directions by their therapist. How do I know I can trust you?
At Blue Chip Counseling & EMDR, we see ourselves as guides—here to support you on your unique journey. We don’t come with an agenda or pretend to have all the answers for your life. We believe you are the expert on yourself, and our role is to listen, collaborate, and walk alongside you in a way that feels right and respectful to you. Our approach is grounded in proven, time-tested methods, not passing trends. While we stay current on research-based techniques, our team is rooted in traditional values and committed to honoring yours.
It has been suggested that I take medication, but I don’t want to. Is my therapist going to try and push me into taking drugs I am not comfortable with?
No. We understand that there’s often more than one path to healing, and we fully respect that. People have different views and preferences regarding medication and mental health treatment, and we honor that diversity. While there may be times when your therapist suggests medication as one helpful option, we also support those who prefer to avoid pharmaceuticals or explore natural alternatives. Our role is to support your journey, not take over!
How long will it take to feel better?
Often, simply naming and understanding what you’re struggling with is a powerful first step—and it can bring a real sense of relief. That clarity helps set the foundation for healing. From there, the journey may have its ups and downs, especially if we’re working through trauma. Some sessions might feel intense, but that’s part of the process. The most important thing is to keep going—you’re not alone.
Do you offer virtual therapy? And if so, which states?
Yes, we offer virtual therapy for teens and adults across Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Arizona. Or, you can attend therapy at our St. George location at 75 South 100 East #2-D St. George, Utah 84770.
