The answer to this question depends upon a variety of factors. Therapy sessions often take place on a weekly basis. Sometimes, depending upon the nature of the therapy, your counselor might wish to meet with you more frequently. Clients often fear that more frequent meetings mean that their problems are more severe. This is not necessarily the case. Meeting twice a week is sometimes recommended because the intensity helps the process move forward more effectively. As therapy progresses, you and the therapist may identify that once a week, twice a month, monthly or every other month apts. are more appropriate. Moving towards termination of the treatment often means a decrease in the frequency of sessions as you learn to cope with life's challenges with a new set of skills and level of understanding.
