What is your go-to approach for grief & loss counseling?

My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is to validate the feelings they are having, even if those are conflicting. Grief is a complicated emotion that never presents the same way. I think clients benefit from being able to express the full range of feelings they may be experiencing in grief without judgment.

What tools do you teach in grief & loss counseling?

Acceptance. Self-care. Meaning making.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in grief & loss counseling?

I know a client is progress in grief when they are able to feel the associated feelings without placing judgments or constraints on themselves.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement grief & loss counseling?

Remember their lost loved one in healthy ways that bring them joy (even if it is bittersweet).

What should someone do to prepare for starting grief & loss counseling?

Come with an open mind.

Grief & loss counseling FAQs

What type of counseling is needed when a person cannot get over the grief of losing a loved one?

Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Allentown, PA have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.

How does grief and loss counseling work?

Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Allentown, PA will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.

Signs I should seek grief counseling

If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.

What counseling theory is best for grief?

There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.

Is grief counseling conducted in person or online?

Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does grief counseling last?

For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.

Ease and convenience of working with my therapist.

★★★★★
Ed is a wonderful therapist. He poses unique questions that I really have to think about the answers and I like that I get to be challenged in my thought process. I am a Christian and It’s nice to have a fellow believer, understand scripture or share it with me to encourage me to keep moving forward in my journey? It’s almost like chatting with a friend Been my therapist for at least 18 months if not longer.

Marianne has steadily helped me acknowledge some of the energy I’ve carried for many years. She is sensitive to my spiritual beliefs and is able to help me develop goals for the future.

★★★★★
I finally found someone who understands me and challenges me intellectually. She explains to me why children do what they do in turn allowing me to understand why I am the way I am. She offers me real anxiety relief coping skills like breathing techniques or ice packs on the face. She doesn't just ask me how I feel all the time or make me talk about hard things if I'm not in the mood. She uses the words that I say to understand how I feel even if I don't know how I feel. I really like her and I really think she's going to help me.
