My typical approach for helping clients dealing with depression begins in fundamentally the same way across all modalities — meeting them at their level and readiness for change. I find this works best because they are the experts in themselves. They need to be the ones driving or the actions won’t be meaningful. This is especially true with depression because it hits us at our core, many times leaving us unmotivated to do anything.
I teach many tools in depression therapy that are catered to each person’s needs and level of functioning. For example:
I know clients are making meaningful progress in therapy when they start reporting improvements in their lives and/or relationships and are enjoying life again. It’s important to help clients recognize and celebrate their successes, no matter how small.
Clients can supplement therapy by practicing good self-care & the coping tools discussed, or just by considering how the concepts from sessions can be applied.
To prepare for their first session, clients can consider what their goals for therapy might be and keep an open mind for their new journey. Therapy can open doors to new concepts and methods of approach if clients are ready to open those doors. With grief, it can also be comforting for clients to know they aren’t opening those doors alone.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Irvine, CA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
