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

My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is by holding space. I find that providing someone space where they can process their grief & loss is the best place to start.

What tools do you teach in grief & loss counseling?

Self care is always a helpful place to start when beginning a therapy journey. Discussing self care and providing information on what it is, is often helpful in regaining energy to manage day to day tasks. Emotional regulation skills are also very helpful for navigating grief. Grief can tend to feel like a rollercoaster and emotional regulation skills can help smooth out the ride.

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 they tell me they are. As a social worker I believe that the client is the expert in their life. I am hear as a supporter and a listener to help them reach their goals

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

Clients can supplement their time in grief & loss counseling by listening to their bodies. Checking in with yourself can help you know when to push yourself and when to be gentle with yourself. Healing from grief & loss can be difficult and everyone benefits from a little patience with themselves.

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

Every persons healing journey is unique. One way to prepare for your first grief & loss counseling session is to think about what your goal is in therapy is.

Starting Grief & loss counseling in Greenville

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 Greenville, SC 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 Greenville, SC 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.

Austin is a great listener and has some very valuable and useful insights. When I first started with him I thought he might be too young, but he is wise WELL beyond his years. As much life I've lived and experience gained, I take notes when we talk.
