Each type of depression requires a different clinical playbook. Fortunately, depression counselors at Thriveworks in Minneapolis, MN, can apply their extensive knowledge to whatever symptoms you’re experiencing, offering you expert care through depression counseling. 

How Does Depression Counseling Work?

Depression counseling can assist you if you’re seeing changes in your: 

  • Sleeping habits, including if you’re sleeping too much or having insomnia
  • Libido, such as losing your sex drive
  • Eating habits, like eating too much or too little
  • Finances, including spending too much as a form of “retail therapy”
  • Employment—it’s not uncommon to lose a job when you’re too depressed to work
  • Physical health, as depression can cause physical symptoms like headaches and digestion issues

You don’t have to continually endure the pain of depression when there may be a positive solution that depression counseling can provide. For instance, a Thriveworks depression counselor in Minneapolis, MN, can evaluate your symptoms and determine what counseling approach will work best for your needs. 

This might involve cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT),  (interpersonal therapy), or another counseling method. An accurate diagnosis is important because it will determine what treatment plans will help you begin your recovery journey through depression therapy.
