Group Therapy

What is group therapy?
Group therapy brings together a small number of individuals facing similar challenges in a structured, therapist-led setting. Rather than working through concerns in isolation, participants benefit from shared experience, mutual support, and the unique perspective that comes from hearing how others navigate similar struggles.

What are the benefits of group therapy?
Participating in group therapy can offer benefits that are difficult to achieve in individual sessions alone, including:

• Reduced feelings of isolation and shame

• Real-time feedback and diverse perspectives from peers

• Opportunities to practice communication and interpersonal skills in a safe setting

• A sense of community and shared understanding

• Accountability and motivation from group support

• Cost-effective access to consistent therapeutic support

Who benefits from group therapy?
Group therapy can be helpful for individuals working through:

• Anxiety and depression

• Grief and loss

• Relationship and communication patterns

• Stress and life transitions

• Building social and interpersonal skills

Group therapy may be used on its own or alongside individual counseling, depending on your specific needs and goals.

How does my provider determine if group therapy is right for me?
The Silver Liningz Counseling team meets with you virtually to understand your concerns, comfort level with group settings, and treatment goals. They help determine whether a group format, individual therapy, or a combination of both will best support your progress.

What happens during group therapy sessions?
Sessions are facilitated by a licensed therapist and follow a structured format designed to keep the space safe, confidential, and productive for all members. Your facilitator may incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, guiding discussion, skill-building exercises, and peer feedback.

Groups typically meet on a regular schedule via telehealth, allowing members to participate consistently from the comfort of home. Confidentiality and mutual respect are foundational to every session.
