Are you having a difficult time handling current struggles in your life?
Or maybe you're realizing you've felt stuck, anxious or uncertain for a long time. Have loved ones or colleagues noticed, or it has it remained a private struggle, sapping the mental and physical energy you'd like to spend on the most important things in your life?
Could you use compassionate, individualized support as you grow in understanding for yourself and your capacity to heal and move forward?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking. Individual therapy differs from Group or Alternative therapy methods as your needs are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy in a safe and confidential space.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, confused or lost lately, or are struggling with an on-going problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy with Jennifer Bearden LCSW could help you improve your everyday life. We serve Vista and the rest of California via telehealth.
Signs You Might Need Individual Therapy
If any of these sound like you…
- You keep worrying about the same problem over and over
- You don’t know who you can talk to about your private struggle
- You wish there was somebody who could help you understand your feelings and reactions
- You’re interested in therapy, but you don’t want to give up total control
- Other areas of your life are being negatively impacted by your struggle
- You need somebody to listen to you and your feelings for once
- You’re interested in therapy, but not sure how it could fit into your life
…Then individual therapy could be right for you. Individual therapy is helpful for so many people because it’s tailored to everyone’s specific needs and experiences. Group therapy may have its own set of advantages, but if you want more privacy and control over the pacing of your therapy, full engagement in your treatment plan, goals, and the therapeutic approaches used, and more scheduling options for sessions, you owe it to yourself to look into individual therapy.
If you’re looking for help in improving your everyday quality of life — or for a more tailored therapy experience — you would be a great fit for individual therapy services.

Treatments an Individual Therapist Can Use
Jennifer Bearden, LCSW, incorporates a variety of evidence-based treatments into her individual therapy sessions to help clients address emotional challenges and build lasting resilience. One of her core approaches is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a powerful method for processing trauma and reducing the emotional charge of distressing memories. Jennifer also integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which helps clients explore and harmonize the different “parts” of themselves that may be contributing to anxiety, self-doubt, or internal conflict. Both of these modalities offer deep, transformative healing that goes beyond surface-level symptom relief.
In addition to trauma-informed therapies, Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also incorporates mindfulness-based strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in developing present-moment awareness and living in alignment with their values.
These treatments empower individuals to manage difficult emotions, cultivate self-compassion, and create meaningful, lasting change. Through this integrative and personalized approach, Jennifer helps her clients move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.
