What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

I have found that the best approach for depressive symptoms is through the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I teach the clients who are experiencing depressive symptoms ways to explore/identify their emotions; challenging the thoughts under the emotions and reframing the thoughts and mindfulness strategies.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress regarding their depressive symptoms by their self-report of their sense of well being as well as their affect during sessions.

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

Client can supplement their time in counseling for depressive symptoms by using recommended workbooks; journaling their thoughts & emotions and making changing in their daily routines.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

Clients can prepare for their first session by identifying what they would like to see different regarding their depressive symptoms.

Depression: Definitions and Key Thoughts

Recurrent depression (known as major depression) makes life significantly harder than it needs to be. Negative feelings may overwhelm you. You oscillate between hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, irritability — or experience them all at the same time.

Simple, everyday activities are a struggle — even the ones you used to enjoy. You have trouble focusing at work or school. You might lash out at those around you. Relationships deteriorate.

Other types of depression include:

  • Persistent depressive disorder — when depressed feelings persist for longer than two years
  • Psychotic depression disorder — depression alongside hallucinations, irrational beliefs or other delusions
  • Postpartum depression — severe depressive some mothers experience after giving birth to a child
  • Seasonal affective disorder — depressed mood caused by a lack of daylight in winter months

In addition to feelings of hopelessness or sadness, a person suffering with depression might experience:

  • Decreased interest in formerly loved pastimes
  • Suicidal thoughts or attempts
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Labored decision-making and generally slowed thinking
  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing on detailed work
  • Problems with falling asleep or waking up
  • Loss of appetite or overeating
  • Inexplicable aches and pains that don’t lessen with treatment
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Irritability and bouts of extreme anger

I have been working with Dr. Covey for almost 6 months now and she has been excellent. I feel like I am heard and understood even when I have a hard time expressing things myself and putting thoughts into words. Having someone who can actually listen and provide the resources to assist myself with past trauma and current challenges has been a life changer.

This is prior to being seen so this is strictly based on first impressions upon entering the building. The waiting area is nice but undefined as to where one should go nor any indications as to what is needed to be done. No one was there to greet us nor was there any desk or window to suggest someone would. We looked for the therapist's office but no doors had any identification to point us in the right direction. At this point we're at the mercy of the clock alerting the therapist to seek us out in the waiting area in order to be seen. Not the best first impression. I will update this review if and when we are seen.

Easy and convenient to book according to my schedule. I feel like I'm learning and making progress with Mrs. Antoine. She is extremely kind and empathetic. I would recommend a friend to Thriveworks because of my experience with her.
