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

My go-to approach for helping people in grief and loss therapy is to provide a comfortable, supportive environment upon which a strong clinical relationship can be built. It is my belief that through this partnership clients are best able to draw on their individual strengths and capabilities.

What tools do you teach in grief & loss counseling?

A variety of tools, techniques, and resources are shared with clients experiencing grief and loss in combination with mental health symptoms. An example of a tool I would share with a grieving client is to complete journaling exercises as a way of exploring and processing grief and loss.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy when they share having decreased episode and presenting problems are resolved to a state where it is easily manageable than being a trigger.

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

Clients can supplement their time in by completing therapuetic homework and identifying support systems and using them.

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

I recommend contacting your insurance company to make sure you understand your mental health benefits before our intake. During your intake, we will be going over a variety of questions so I can get a snapshot picture of your biological, psychological, and social factors, and then briefly go over what brings you in for therapy. This is also a good time to share with me your mental health goals. This information will help me identify if I am a good fit for you and if I am not, I can refer you to someone who can meet your mental health needs.

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 Chesterfield, VA 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 Chesterfield, VA 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.

Need more help deciding?

The loss of a loved one is possibly the most stressful life event that a person can experience. However, help is often needed to process the feelings of grief and to be able to function again in normal daily life.
