Lakeside Behavioral Health provides one-on-one therapy for adults with burnout at our St. Louis office and through telehealth in Missouri and Illinois. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to your specific needs and goals.
How Individual Therapy Treats Burnout
Individual therapy for burnout focuses on identifying the specific workplace dynamics and personal patterns that led to exhaustion, then building sustainable strategies for recovery.
What therapy includes:
- CBT: challenge perfectionism, people-pleasing, and catastrophic thinking
- DBT: boundary-setting, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
- Behavioral strategies: time management, values clarification, communication skills
- Address co-occurring depression or anxiety if present
- Develop a post-therapy maintenance plan to prevent re-burnout
Signs Therapy May Be Right for Your Burnout
Consider individual therapy if:
- Exhaustion persists despite rest, vacations, and self-care
- Burnout affects relationships, physical health, or emotional stability
- You are considering medical leave or a career change from a place of exhaustion
- Surface-level solutions (apps, wellness tips) have not helped
- You want to understand root causes, not just manage symptoms
