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

My go-to approach for helping people in grief and loss counseling is acknowledging the pain and complexity of grief. I find the best benefit in validation because grief is a complicated process and people often judge themselves for not feeling a “specific” way that they feel they “should” feel.

What tools do you teach in grief & loss counseling?

I teach the following tools in grief and loss counseling: honoring the loss, validating the grief and the complexity that comes with it, and finding healthy coping skills to manage difficult emotions.

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

I know that a client is making meaningful progress in grief and loss counseling when they are able to acknowledge their own progress and challenge themselves to feel their emotions as they occur without ruminating on them.

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

Clients can supplement their time in grief and loss counseling through support groups, if desired, and maintaining healthy connections with others.

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

To prepare for the first grief and loss counseling session, an individual can practice being gentle with themselves.

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 Quincy, MA 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 Quincy, MA 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.
