What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for helping people in depression therapy is to provide a comfortable, supportive environment where a strong clinical relationship can be built. It is my belief that through this partnership, clients are best able to draw on their individual strengths and capabilities.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

A variety of tools, techniques, and resources are shared with clients with depressive symptoms. An example of a tool I would share with a client who is depressed would be self-compassion exercises to manage their symptoms, when they feel depressed.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy when they share that they feel less depressed and their problems that led them to seek therapy are resolved to the point where their symptoms are easily managed.

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

Clients can supplement their time in therapy by completing their therapuetic homework, and identifying support systems and techniques that I've taught them that are helpful so that they can start implementing what they have learned.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

I recommend contacting your insurance company to make sure you understand your mental health benefits before our intake. During your intake, we will be going over a variety of questions so I can get a snapshot picture of your biological, psychological, and social health, and then we will talk about what brings you in for therapy. This is also a good time to share with me your mental health goals. This information will help me identify if I am a good fit for you—if I am not, I can refer you to someone who can meet your mental health needs.

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 Chesterfield, VA 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 Chesterfield, VA 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.
