Please feel free to see a psychologist if you feel that you need emotional reinforcement but are already handling your anxiety, stressful situations, or other issues quite effectively. A psychologist can assist you in gathering your ideas, resolving issues, and obtaining information about your personal life, work, family, emotional state, experiences with crises, and career decisions. It is a good idea to see a psychiatrist if you believe that you are not able to manage stressful situations, worries, or other issues on your own and that you require medication for further support. A professional can create a treatment plan after hearing the patient&#8217;s concerns.<\/p>\n<p>A visit to a psychiatrist is always advised by the psychologist if it becomes apparent during the consultation that the client would benefit from medication to address the issue. In a similar vein, a psychiatrist who has evaluated the case and determined that medicine is not required at this time may suggest consulting a specialist (psychologist, psychotherapist, social worker) whose guidance would be most helpful for the issues at hand.<\/p>\n<p>The administrative staff at the Lotus Medica clinic in Kaunas is available to offer you advice and make recommendations for a suitable expert if you are unsure which specialist\u2014a psychiatrist or a psychologist\u2014you should see.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3>What is the process of a psychological consultation?<\/h3>\n<p>The psychological consultation occurs in a room with two people seated across from each other in a secure environment. No special preparation is required for the initial meeting; however, you should expect the psychologist to ask you several questions during the consultation, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>why you are seeking professional help and what event prompted you to take this step;<\/li>\n<li>what additional challenges (unpleasant feelings, thoughts, pains) are caused by the problem for which you have registered for counseling;<\/li>\n<li>your life history, past and present events, activities, and family (this is important to give the psychologist a comprehensive understanding of the circumstances that characterize the situation you are experiencing);<\/li>\n<li>what your current expectations are from the psychologist and what do you anticipate from future consultations?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since the number of visits cannot be predicted in advance, the specialist can only discuss with the customer the anticipated number of visits during the initial meeting. Developing self-awareness is a lifelong process. Since every client&#8217;s situation is different, the number of consultations required will vary depending on the type of difficulties faced, the topics covered in follow-up meetings, the new issues the client wants to discuss with the psychologist, and the client&#8217;s level of effort and dedication to the problem-solving process. Regular counseling sessions can be scheduled for a minimum of ten appointments, with a maximum duration of five months. Following the client&#8217;s circumstances, the psychologist might suggest that the client attend counseling once a week or more frequently.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial to remember that the psychologist may give specific exercises or tasks to the client during the consultation, along with homework assignments that would be pertinent to the current issue and discussed at the subsequent visit. Additionally, to assist clients express their thoughts and unwind, counselors may employ a variety of methods in their sessions, including kinetic sand sessions, art therapy, and unique breathing exercises. Clients are advised to be as honest as possible during counseling sessions, particularly when talking about tough or negative feelings.<\/p>\n<h3>Cognitive Behavioural Therapy<\/h3>\n<p>Psychologists and psychotherapists often use a contemporary method called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) when providing counseling to adults, children, or adolescents. CBT is predicated on the idea that a person&#8217;s thoughts, behavior, and emotions are intricately linked and interact with each other. The primary objective of therapy is to modify the client&#8217;s emotional state and help him or her apply the newly acquired behavioral patterns to everyday life. It also aims to improve the client&#8217;s attitudes toward certain events and incorrect beliefs. The goal of CBT-based counseling is to focus on change.<\/p>\n<p>Counseling clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictions, and other issues, as well as children or adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, is especially well-suited to the tenets of cognitive behavioral therapy.<\/p>\n<p>If you require a remote consultation or a consultation with a psychologist in Kaunas, KET-trained professionals can be found at the Lotus Medica clinic.<\/p>\n<h3>How does a psychologist counsel children and adolescents?<\/h3>\n<p>The psychologist counsels kids and teenagers along with their parents or guardians at the initial visit. To ensure that the professional has individual conversations with each member of the visiting family and obtains the most comprehensive image possible, the appointment time might be broken into multiple segments. Unless an adult family member is mutually agreed upon with the professional to be present for all or part of the consultation, the child or adolescent may attend subsequent sessions alone.<\/p>\n<p>Psychologists frequently use specialized strategies, including play therapy, when counseling children between the ages of three and twelve. Reclusive children, who have trouble opening up, and are unwilling or afraid to discuss their problems can benefit greatly from this kind of therapy. Throughout the sessions, the kid is allowed to express their feelings, grow in creativity and communication, learn from their mistakes, and alter previously learned behavioral patterns. To explore unpleasant experiences and fears through these activities once the relationship with the psychologist is established, the games typically reflect the child&#8217;s experiences and hidden sentiments. Play therapy involves facilitating the child&#8217;s opening up through various activities like kinetic sand play, drawing, gluing, and using specific tools (emotion cards, creative dolls, fairy tale cards, anti-stress toys, etc.) to discuss specific behavioral patterns and help the child express their feelings and thoughts. During the sessions, the child is allowed to play, but the psychologist encourages him or her to chat as the play continues, to pay attention to the toys that are meant to help the child solve a problem and to talk about the play&#8217;s outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>In adolescent counseling, psychologists typically address issues through conversation; however, if necessary, they can employ additional techniques or exercises (such as conversation cards, unique board games, etc.) to assist in a deeper analysis of the adolescent&#8217;s emotional state, to identify the adolescent&#8217;s strengths, and to address challenging issues like eating disorders, behavioral issues, anxiety, fears, and other issues.<\/p>\n<p>The parents or guardians are consulted regarding the best counseling strategy for the kid or adolescent. When organizing support for the child, it&#8217;s crucial to keep in mind that multiple sessions might be required to properly address the issue. As such, the frequency, length, and expectations of the meetings should be discussed with the psychologist beforehand.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I sign up for a consultation with a psychologist?<\/h3>\n<p>You can schedule a psychological consultation for an adult, child, or teenager by emailing <a href=\"mailto:info@lotusmedica.lt\">info@lotusmedica.lt<\/a> or calling <a href=\"tel:+37069659955\">+370 696 59955<\/a>, the clinic&#8217;s administration.<\/p>\n<p>Counseling is offered by psychologists at our clinic to clients both in-person and virtually.
