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 Huntsville, AL 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 Huntsville, AL 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.

I appreciate the amount of care and transparency given by my therapist Leslie! She has been all I need to help me better myself. Before I started Thriveworks I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to Leslie she has helped me to open my eyes and move forward with life in the positive way.

I love Ms. Brooks!! She's really helped me through some hard times. I had some problems with the insurance billing at first with Thriveworks, but after we got it figured out it's been smooth.

I absolutely love my provider she's the best I've been seeing her for a while now even before she came to Thriveworks! One improvement I would say for the business is be more clear and upfront about costs with copay's and what the insurance covers and doesn't upfront !

I've had a really great experience with my therapist. She's checked all of the boxes off when it comes to my therapy needs and has been very welcoming. It was really important to me to be able to have an LGBT-friendly therapist who is trained to handle trauma. Thriveworks has delivered on that promise with Leslie.
