What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for depression in therapy is to first offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive place for a client who is experiencing depression symptoms. After the client is able to feel comfortable and open in therapy, we will begin working to help alleviate and reduce symptoms associated with the depression. I will use a combination of therapeutic approaches tailored toward each individual client to help them on their journey of change and healing.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

Tools that are taught in therapy for depression include:

  • Recognizing signs and symptoms of depression
  • Learning healthy coping skills and negating negative coping skills
  • Being more present throughout the day
  • Facing fears that could be causing any symptoms
  • Recognizing inaccurate thinking

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

I will know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy for treating depression when they are engaging in activities they enjoy, are no longer isolating themselves in their home, are feeling hopeful and positive about the present and future, and have healthy routines and structure.

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

In their personal time, clients can supplement counseling by making sure they are taking care of themselves, practicing healthy sleep habits, engaging in routines, setting themselves up for successful days, and being active in activities that they enjoy. I tell everyone to start off small—we all have 10 minutes where we can do something healthy for us.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

There is no need to prepare for the first therapy session. You can simply show up with an open mind, allow yourself to engage with your therapist, and be forthcoming with the experiences and feelings you are having.

Depression and Anxiety Therapy in Charleston, SC—Therapists and Counselors

The relationship between anxiety and depression works both ways, with each feeding and often leading to the other. Research shows that symptoms of anxiety can easily lead to depression. It can also work the other way around, with a lack of energy or feelings of sadness leading you to become anxious about your life and what you “should” be doing.

Fortunately, you can get help for your anxiety, depression, or both at Thriveworks Charleston. We have counselors, psychologists, and therapists who are dedicated to helping their clients manage or heal from anxiety and depression. In fact, they specialize in helping people to manage their symptoms, get to the root of the problem, and live an overall happier life despite the disorder at hand. If you think you could benefit from depression therapy or anxiety therapy, reach out to Thriveworks Charleston. You can give us a call at (843) 480-4034 to schedule your appointment.

Mr Sachs has been outstanding with his handling of our sessions. Personally, I believe that therapy/counseling is truly a personal experience and the therapist needs to be matched to the patient as much as the patient with the therapist. I feel like he was a perfect fit for what we needed with our sessions.
