The length of therapy is highly variable and depends on factors like the severity of the problem, the desired level of relief, and session frequency. * The average client attends 12-15 sessions. * Research suggests about 50% of clients experience symptom relief after 10-16 sessions, and 75% achieve relief within 26 sessions (approximately six months of weekly sessions). * While some stop once symptoms improve, others seek more profound, long-term changes in self-image or relationship patterns. * Long-term psychotherapy is generally considered two years or longer.
