Following an initial evaluation, you may be prescribed ongoing, one-on-one sessions with a counselor.
Brief individual counseling provides support and guidance in achieving one’s goal of succeeding in college. Any problem or desire for change is a legitimate reason to seek help. Students frequently seek counseling to develop more effective strategies and skills for:
- Managing stress,
- Addressing feelings of depression or anxiety,
- Gaining new perspectives on relationships, and
- Assessing alcohol and drug use.
The UT Dallas Student Counseling Center utilizes a brief therapy model. Sessions are approximately 45-50 minutes each. You and your counselor will collaboratively discuss your goals and develop a treatment plan.
