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.
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.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common approach in depression therapy, as it focuses on helping individuals to change their negative thinking patterns, which then enable them to change their problematic behaviors. Additionally, depression therapists help their clients to manage their symptoms, get to the root of what may have caused their depression, and remind them of their value.
