What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My clinical approach to depression is psychotherapy because it can help people learn new ways of thinking, coping, and relating to others, though I suggest medication as needed.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

Common tools used in depression therapy are:

  • Exercise
  • Increasing social support
  • Controlled breathing
  • Participating in activities

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

Progress is being made when the client reports they are able to manage their symptoms more effectively.

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

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

Clients can be honest with the clinician about the severity of their symptoms.

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

  • Consistent low mood

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.

What Does Depression Feel Like?

Depression presents itself differently to everyone. Some people feel a deep, never ending sadness, and others feel completely empty and numb. Some stay up all night and some sleep the day away.

  • Feeling worthless

Zack Diamond Drake has some of the best ears around. If there is something dragging you down or simply holding you back, this individual will not only help you work through whatever it is, but help you to think through the process yourself. This, in my opinion, is the best kind of counseling there is. I would highly recommend his services.
