What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for treating depression is to use CBT techniques as well as mindfulness techniques. I enjoy using CBT, as it can help provide insight into depressive thoughts or behaviors, and mindfulness helps separate the client from their struggles.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I teach a variety of techniques and tools in depression therapy, including grounding techniques. Grounding techniques are skills to utilize when in high emotional states to help ground the person in the present rather than being stuck in the future or the past.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in their treatment of depression when they are able to recognize their depressive thoughts as their depression rather than just their thoughts.

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

Clients can supplement their time in counseling through meaningful connections with others and body movements (i.e. walking, exercising, moving, etc.).

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for your first session to treat depression, you can show up with a desire and willingness to challenge mindsets and change.

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Quincy, MA 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 Quincy, MA 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.

How Can Depression Therapy Help Me?

I am very happy to have worked with Amanda Bright. She always had a smile on and a positive attitude. She was great she with the clientele; she was encouraging and empathetic but also showed much discipline and great work ethic. She is very attentive and would make a great choice as a therapist.
