Robyn Starks

Hear from Robyn Starks, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

View Robyn Starks's profile

What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for treating depression is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). I prefer this method because it focuses on the here and now.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I teach the following tools in depression counseling:

  • Mindfulness
  • Understanding/response modulation
  • Remission
  • Recovery
  • Relapse
  • Recurrence

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they reported improved mood and an increase in their use of healthy coping skills.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement depression counseling?

Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with group therapy.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can get a list of all recent medications.

Starting Depression counseling

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Smyrna, GA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

How does depression counseling work?

Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.

Signs of depression

Common signs of depression include:

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Oversleeping or difficulty sleeping
  • Changes in diet (eating much more or less)
  • Withdrawal and isolation
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Feelings of hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in previous hobbies or activities
  • Excessive substance use

Is depression counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks depression counseling in Smyrna, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How often should you attend depression therapy sessions?

Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

How much does depression counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
