Frequently Asked Questions
What issues can individual therapy help with?
Individual therapy at Common Thread Counseling can address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, stress, grief, and self-esteem issues. It is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
What modalities does individual therapy utilize?
Our therapists specialize in Brainspotting, a powerful technique that accesses and releases trauma held deep in the brain and nervous system. We also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for reprocessing distressing memories, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Therapy, Parts Work, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which addresses the connection between body and mind for trauma stored in the body.
How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?
Individual therapy could be right for you if you’re seeking support to address trauma, anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make meaningful changes in your life, individual therapy can provide the tools and guidance needed to restore balance and help you build resilience.
Do you offer virtual individual therapy sessions?
Yes, we offer virtual individual therapy sessions for clients who prefer to receive care from the comfort of their own homes. Whether you live in Anchorage or elsewhere in Alaska, our virtual therapy sessions bring the same compassionate, effective care directly to you.
Can I use insurance for individual therapy?
We are an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, we’ve partnered with Mentaya, a payment app designed to streamline the out-of-network process, making it easier for you to pay only your co-insurance or receive reimbursements faster.

Olya is an engaged, intelligent, and caring person. I served with her on a nonprofit board where she always showed keen listening skills with excellent ideas to follow. As a counselor, I am certain that she provides her clients with an even higher level of attention, support, as well as offering clear expertise in her field. Totally recommend Olya!
