Common approaches to Grief & loss counseling

Hear from Sharon Odom, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

View Sharon Odom's profile

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

Let client tell their story of loss.

What tools do you teach in grief & loss counseling?

I normalize the grief and the loss client is experiencing. For example, a client might feel they are 'going crazy' due to their emotions being all over the place, I talk with client about how this can be grief and not 'going crazy' and how this is a normal grief feeling.

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

The client has achieved treatment goals/objectives. For example, a client is reporting/displaying to therapist during session, that they are allowing themselves to grieve and not stay stuck in their grieve.

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

If there's homework, do it, and discuss during session. Also the client might consider going to a grief support group.

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

The client might go to a grief support group and can work on being aware of their grief if not.

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 Maumelle, AR 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 Maumelle, AR 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.

Thriveworks Maumelle, AR grief counselors have extensive training in leading their clients through the challenges that loss brings and in helping them rebuild a new normal. Reach out today for support.

What Triggers Grief?

A loss of any kind can trigger grief. Most people associate grieving and mourning with the death of a loved one—family or friend. Losing a person may be the most severe form of loss, but people also experience grief after losing objects they value. Homeowners will likely feel grief if a fire were to destroy their home, and pet owners often grieve the death of a pet.

No list could contain every occasion that might trigger grief, but often, people pursue grief therapy after or during…

Chronic pain or health challenges
A loved one dies
A dear pet has passed
Loss of a home
Loss of a job
Divorce
A temporary or permanent disability
A natural disaster

Grief Is Varied and Complex

Just as grief comes with varied emotions, bereavement also often comes with a variety of mental health challenges. Anyone experiencing grief may also be experiencing …

Trouble focusing
Loss of appetite
Irritability and moodiness
Angry outbursts
Severe and sudden bouts of crying
Panic
Isolation and loneliness
Anxiety
Depression
Physically painful sadness

Does anything on this list resonate with your experience? If so, you may be grieving. And you are not alone. Many people who are mourning a loss find the help they need through grief therapy.

What Does Grief Counseling Involve?

Because grief is unique to each person, so is grief counseling. The therapists at Thriveworks North Little Rock, AR tailor a treatment plan to address each client’s needs and goals. However, generally speaking, grief therapy has two main goals:

Understanding the loss: The complex feelings that accompany a loss need to be processes and understood. Moving forward often means looking back to the loss, its significance, and the feelings it has stirred. Grief therapists often help people understand their depression, relief, anger, sadness, regret (and more) so that they can move through them toward a new reality.
Acquiescing to a new reality: A severe part of loss is its conclusiveness. A loved one who has passed will not return. A home that has been moved away from can almost never be returned to. Almost everyone would turn back time if they could, even though they know it is impossible. A better way forward is acquiescing to the new reality. With support and guidance, many people find happiness and purpose in their life again.

My therapist, Ellen, has a unique and thoughtful approach to helping me achieve my goals. She encourages, empowers, and asks insightful questions—never imposing, only guiding with genuine curiosity and care. Throughout our sessions, she takes notes and remembers even the smallest details, which makes me feel seen and understood.. . I've never once felt judged by her. Ellen's kindness, presence, and flexibility in her approach have truly transformed my life. I am deeply grateful for the privilege of working with her.
