What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for therapy is to help someone examine their thoughts, feelings, and responses, as well as looking at patterns of relationships in their lives. I believe this is helpful for understanding and making positive changes.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

The tools I help people develop include:

  • Strengthening self-awareness
  • Strengthening other awareness
  • Deep breathing techniques
  • Sensory techniques
  • Journaling
  • 5-4-3-2-1 exercises for being aware of sights, sounds, thoughts, and feelings

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy when the client shares positive changes in their thoughts, feelings, and responses to their stressors and also expresses improvement themselves.

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

Clients can supplement their time in therapy by utilizing the strategies they are learning in therapy, reading appropriate books, and leaning on their network of support.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for your first therapy session, you can be committed to showing up and be willing to be honest in the session.

Starting Depression counseling

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

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

What Are the Symptoms of Clinical Depression?

 According to the DSM, depression typically presents as:

  1. A depressed mood (continuously feeling sad and/or negative) that endures longer than two weeks 
  2. Anhedonia (loss of interest or pleasure in activities you usually enjoy)
  3. Changes in appetite and/or unintentional weight loss or gain
  4. Psychomotor retardation (slowed-down movements and thoughts)
  5. Fatigue or exhaustion
  6. Overwhelming feelings of despondency, guilt, or worthlessness
  7. Problems with attention and/or memory
  8. Suicidality (Call a crisis center immediately if you’re ever considering self-harm.)

Depression counselors might also look for the following potential symptoms of depression:

  • Irritability (a depression symptom in men more often than women)
  • Self-medication through substance abuse or addiction
