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

My go-to approach for grief and loss counseling is a person-centered supportive approach. I find that the most beneficial way to help is to meet people where they are and provide the supportive feedback they need.

What tools do you teach in grief & loss counseling?

In grief and loss counseling, I teach relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation as well as the benefits of therapeutic activities such as journaling and writing.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress when they state that their symptoms have improved and they are able to function better than when they started coming to therapy.

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

I encourage clients to reach out to friends and family and engage in activities that bring them joy and/or connection to a loved one who has passed away.

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

To prepare for their first session, an individual can allow themselves to be vulnerable and as open as possible when coming into the session.

Grief & loss counseling FAQs

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 Fort Lauderdale, FL 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 Fort Lauderdale, FL 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.

My therapist helps me see the bigger picture of a situation, focus on what is the element that needs to be tended to, and has made me feel heard more than anyone else I have ever worked with. Michael not only listens but provides the feedback in a way that recognizes what I worry about, and in a way that acknowledges my life experience. After years of feeling put down or less recognized it is refreshing to have someone not only validate what I know to be true, but to have someone who sees me as a strong woman.
