What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for depression counseling is dialectical behavior therapy. I find benefit in the acknowledgment of the client's pain, and in working through and holding space for the depression while working towards healing.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

Tools that I teach in depression counseling are processing and coping skills such as journaling.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when the frequency and intensity of their symptoms such as crying or not being able to get out of bed decreases and their mood improves.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement depression counseling?

Clients can supplement depression counseling by processing and journaling in their personal time between counseling sessions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for depression counseling, make a list of symptoms to share with the therapist during your initial session.

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

How does depression counseling work?

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.

Signs of depression

Common signs of depression include:

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Oversleeping or difficulty sleeping
  • Changes in diet (eating much more or less)
  • Withdrawal and isolation
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Feelings of hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in previous hobbies or activities
  • Excessive substance use

Is depression counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks depression counseling in Irving, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How often should you attend depression therapy sessions?

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.

How much does depression counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state.

How Do I Know If I’m Suffering From Depression?

Depression may manifest itself with general feelings of low self-worth and low energy over a long period of time or appear acutely in the form of more severe episodes. You may experience feelings of dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, or thoughts of self-harm. Or you may just feel a general sense of hopelessness and despair.

While depression can vary greatly among individuals, here are some of the most common symptoms:

  • Changes in sleeping patterns (oversleeping or insomnia)
  • Changes in eating patterns (overeating or loss of appetite)
  • Chronic fatigue or low energy
  • Lack of interest in favorite activities
  • Irritability
  • Substance abuse
  • Heightened anxiety
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Low self-esteem
  • Feelings of despair

If you’re experiencing depression symptoms, it may be time to seek out the help of a therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Irving, TX.

Is Depression Therapy Right for Me?

If you’ve been suffering from depression, it’s easy to feel like there’s no hope. However, this is far from the truth. Coping with depression may not be easy at first, but it is a highly treatable illness with the guidance of an experienced counselor.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the tools a professional counselor can use to help you overcome depression. Many clients are surprised by how much of an impact their thoughts have on their own mental health. CBT can help you identify negative thinking patterns, adjust those thoughts, and develop coping strategies that more effectively regulate your emotions and behaviors.

Depending on your situation, you may also be prescribed medication. Depressive disorders often call for a customized approach to treatment, so you can expect your therapist to help you find the treatment plan that works best for you.

Depression doesn’t have to prevent you from living your life the way you want. Speak to a licensed counselor today at Thriveworks Counseling in Irving, TX.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
