What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

I find that a person-centered approach works well in treating depression, whether on its own or alongside other treatment approaches (i.e. CBT, narrative, etc.). Person-centered therapy provides empathy, unconditional positive regard, and empowerment to individuals with depression to help them facilitate change within themselves.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I encourage my clients with depression to explore their values, goals, and beliefs to develop a clearer sense of identity. As they learn more about themselves, I encourage them to reflect and explore their interests to combat isolation and other feelings associated with depression. Having a greater sense of understanding and acceptance of themselves, these individuals will experience an increase in self-worth and motivation to engage in meaningful experiences.

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

Clinical progress in treatment for individuals diagnosed with depression includes but is not limited to increased motivation to engage in preferred activities and/or socialization, higher levels of energy, improved quality of sleep and/or appetite, a decrease in negative self-talk, a more positive outlook, mood stability, and improvement in their overall quality of life and relationships.

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

Clients with depression are encouraged to reconnect with their preferred interests or hobbies and engage in social connections.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

I tell my clients this all the time — one of the hardest parts about depression is not having the motivation to do anything, let alone engage in activities/interventions for self-improvement. So, scheduling a session with a therapist and coming to therapy is a big achievement in itself. When you come to your first counseling session, just come as you are.

Starting Depression counseling

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Midlothian, VA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

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 Midlothian, VA 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 take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay a $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Midlothian, VA—Chesterfield Depression Counseling, Therapy

Depression can change life as you know it. In addition to adding to hindering your job, it can lead to unhealthy changes in your appetite, diet, and sleep schedule. It can cause feelings of guilt or worthlessness and alienate you from friends, family, and once-beloved activities.

Fortunately, counseling proves effective in the treatment of depression and there is help at Thriveworks Midlothian in Chesterfield, VA. If you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms and think it might be related to the development of depression, consider working with one of our depression counselors, psychologists, or therapists.

They are eager to step in and assist you on your mental health journey.

How Do I Know If I’m Depressed?

There are many different kinds of depression: there’s major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and many others. But the most common form is major depression. Symptoms of major depression include:

  • Intense sadness
  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness
  • Loss of interest in day-to-day life
  • Major changes in diet, appetite
  • Sleep problems like insomnia
  • Loss of energy
  • Difficulty focusing
  • Diminished self-esteem
  • Suicidal thoughts

Are you presenting any of these symptoms? Are you generally uninterested in day-to-day activities and failing to function well in important areas of life? If the answer is yes, meet with a mental health professional who is familiar with depression and treatment for the illness. A Chesterfield depression counselor at Thriveworks Midlothian fits the bill and can help.

Can Depression Counseling Help Me? How?

No two experiences in counseling are identical. Why? Because your counselor will base your sessions around your specific presentation of depression as well as your goals for treatment. They will ask you a few simple questions, like what symptoms you are experiencing and what you hope to accomplish to customize the most effective plan. That said, depression counseling often involves discussing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which are likely contributing to your depression. Your counselor will help you to change these habits and, in turn, change the very course of your life.

Additionally, you can expect your depression counselor to talk to you about care outside of the therapy room—as the work doesn’t stop when your weekly session is over. You must engage in self-care, to stay on top of your mental and emotional health.

This is all about taking the time to participate in activities that you enjoy and that benefit you. Examples include:

  • Journaling
  • Exercising
  • Meditating
  • Spending time outside
  • Practicing mindfulness
  • Spending time with a friend

If you aren’t interested in any of the self-care activities listed above, that’s okay. The key here is to find activities that you are interested in, that also benefit you in multiple capacities. If you aren’t sure what self-care activities might best benefit you, your counselor can help you explore and discover.

I have known Dena Wentz for many years. She is a compassionate and insightful advocate for everyone she encounters. She fully listens to you when you talk and is perceptive enough to take each individual's life situation into context. Instead of using a "one size fits all" approach, Dena truly works to understand each person's unique position and how that affects her or him on a larger scale. With Dena, I always feel appreciated and supported!

I have worked with Mrs. Dena Wentz for over a decade. During this time, she has always been an extremely stable positive force in our clinic. Her sense of fairness and common sense is beyond reproach and she keeps us all grounded in our approaches to various patient care circumstances. She often makes us stop and think about where the patient is coming from when we are frustrated with a patient's lack of compliance or adherence to recommended therapies. She is the kind of person you want to listen to your difficulties and concerns because she is such a caring and empathetic person. She will then make significant efforts to provide you with solutions. She is also a very thoughtful cheerleader and motivator for our team and makes sure to mark our achievements and our professional acknowledgments. She has frequently been there for me when I have struggled to work with patients and helped facilitate the communication channels I need to accomplish my role. I highly value my relationship with Dena we all are fortunate to have her on our team!
