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

My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I prefer CBT because it focuses on helping the client identify negative thought patterns and replace them with more positive thoughts.

What tools do you teach in grief & loss counseling?

I teach the following tools in grief & loss counseling:

  • 5 Stages of grief: Helps clients understand the process of grief.
  • Art therapy: A distinct discipline that incorporates creative methods of expression through visual art media.
  • Acceptance and commitment therapy: A form of psychotherapy.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in grief & loss counseling when the client has reached a point where they accept what happened and understand how it affects their life.

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

Clients can supplement their time in grief & loss counseling through journaling, daily exercise, or reading self-help books.

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

To prepare for their first grief & loss counseling session, an individual can write down their anticipated therapeutic goals and questions they may have about the therapeutic process.

Starting Grief & loss counseling

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 Cypress, TX 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 Cypress, TX 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.

As a very closed off person. I feel good opening up and allowing myself to be vulnerable and actually work through the program.

I don't know what it is about my therapist lm just drawn to her. The first ten minutes after we meet. I knew I was going to like her. She really listen to you. Doesn't rush or push you. Doesn't judge you on anything that talks to her about... I'm so comfortable talking with her.. We still be talking until the last fifteen sec of the zoom meeting.. Would definitely run over the time limit if no one's was actually keeping the time.... ( Really needs two or three sessions a week)... Checking on that ASAP...??????✌️
