My go-to approach for treating depression is using a person-centered dialogue. I find the best benefit in including the individual because even depression can impact people differently and deserves a safe space for open discussion about their personal experiences.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling: vulnerable communication, acceptance of self, deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, one-day-at-a-time motivations, grounding techniques, and other coping skills that fit the client's needs.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they can begin seeing the progress along with me and can express seeing the changes in their lives.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with proper use of social support, activities that fit their interests, and/or quality time with themselves to connect.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can start brainstorming what you want your future to look like. This helps create a goal that you want to get out of the therapy itself and models what progress can look like for you.

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.
