Art therapy can take place in a variety of different settings.
 Art therapists may vary the goals of art therapy and the way they provide art therapy, depending upon the institution's or client's needs.
After an assessment of the client's strengths and needs, art therapy may be offered in either an individual or group format, according to which is better suited to the person.
 Art therapist Dr. Ellen G. Horovitz wrote, "My responsibilities vary from job to job.
It is wholly different when one works as a consultant or in an agency as opposed to private practice.
In private practice, it becomes more complex and far reaching.
If you are the primary therapist then your responsibilities can swing from the spectrum of social work to the primary care of the patient.
This includes dovetailing with physicians, judges, family members, and sometimes even community members that might be important in the caretaking of the individual."
 Like other psychotherapists in private practice, some art therapists find it important to ensure, for the therapeutic relationship, that the sessions occur each week in the same space and at the same time.

Art therapy is often offered in schools as a form of therapy for children because of their creativity and interest in art as a means of expression.
Art therapy can benefit children with a variety of issues, such as learning disabilities, speech and language disorders, behavioral disorders, and other emotional disturbances that might be hindering a child's learning.
Similar to other psychologists that work in schools, art therapists should be able to diagnose the problems facing their student clients, and individualize treatment and interventions.
 Art therapists work closely with teachers and parents in order to implement their therapy strategies.
