Common approaches to Depression counseling

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 Tuscaloosa, AL 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 Tuscaloosa, AL 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 accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Depression is a serious but very common mental health disorder that can take a heavy toll on your mental health — but support is available. If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing depression, a therapist at Thriveworks in Tuscaloosa, AL can help.

Recognizing Depression: Common Signs and Symptoms

There are many different forms of depression, and each one may be caused or influenced by various life factors. Even so, there are some common symptoms often experienced by people with depression, including the following:

  • Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt, or worthlessness
  • Fatigue, lethargy, or tiredness
  • Insomnia or oversleeping
  • Changes in appetite and weight
  • Loss of interest or joy in most activities
  • Trouble thinking, concentrating, or remembering things
  • Difficulty making decisions
  • Agitation, irritability, or angry outbursts
  • Headaches, dizziness, or unexplained pain

Recognizing and managing the symptoms of depression can be much easier to do with the help of a licensed mental health professional. Thriveworks in Tuscaloosa, AL can connect you with a counselor or therapist to guide you through diagnosing, treating, and preventing your depression symptoms.

Can Depression Therapy Help Me?

When you begin therapy for depression, your provider will take your specific issues, concerns, symptoms, experiences, and emotions into account to form a diagnosis for your condition. They will then create a unique treatment plan that may include one or more different types of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or interpersonal therapy.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
