Frequently Asked Questions

We know starting therapy can bring up questions. Here are answers to help you feel more comfortable taking the next step.

How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?

If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed, therapy can help you gain insight and practical tools. Your therapist will help determine whether individual sessions are the best fit during intake.

Can I switch between in-person and online therapy?

Yes. Lamplight offers flexible options for meeting in person or through secure telehealth anywhere in Ohio.

Do you take insurance for therapy sessions?

Yes. Most insurance plans cover individual therapy. Our care team will verify your benefits before your first session.

How long does therapy take?

Every person’s goals are unique. Some find relief after a few months, while others continue longer for personal growth and deeper work.

What if I end up needing family or couples therapy?

That’s completely normal. Sometimes, therapy begins one-on-one and naturally expands to include a partner or family members. You may continue seeing your individual therapist while working with another Lamplight clinician who specializes in couples or family therapy — or you can pause individual sessions if that feels right for your goals. Our team will help you transition smoothly and ensure your care stays connected and consistent.
