Jefferson Counseling offers an eight-week, online intensive outpatient therapy program for adults struggling with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorders, or other behavioral health concerns.
Within this program, our goal is to provide a corrective relational experience and invite, validate, and celebrate your true self among a diverse group of individuals.
The online group therapy sessions take place over Zoom on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. Once your registration is confirmed, you’ll receive a Zoom meeting invitation via email. We do not require a referral from an outpatient provider to participate.
Each 2.5-hour session provides 90 minutes of person-centered support, 15 minutes of mindfulness practice, and 30 minutes of coping skill lessons from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy.
CBT helps patients understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This can help individuals tackle negative core beliefs and unhelpful thoughts.
DBT helps patients establish acceptance and accountability for their lives. DBT also helps patients make positive changes using mindfulness and emotion regulation while improving their distress tolerance and interpersonal skills.
We limit each therapy group to eight participants at a time and enroll patients on a rolling basis. Small therapy groups in an IOP can provide a safe space to learn from others who have similar struggles. It can also promote healthy social skills and help participants feel less alone.
