My work exposure in different settings and among multicultural populations has taught me that everyone has what I call a "life backpack," which interferes with their present life. This informs my person-centered, goal-driven therapeutic approach, as I believe each individual is the main actor in their own life situation. Read more

What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach to treating depression is CBT. I prefer CBT because I have found it is easy to understand and it explores the interaction between thoughts, feelings, and behavior as they relate to personality and lived experiences.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I use a biopsychosocial assessment and concepts such as unhelpful thought patterns, stress response, challenging negative thought patterns, and behavioral activation.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress when they begin to understand what is contributing to their depression and take active steps to reduce their symptoms.

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

Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling by doing the homework suggested by the therapist, monitoring their thoughts and behaviors, and doing workbooks or reading books related to their issues.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can research providers to see if they have expertise in your issues, get clear about your symptoms, and begin to think about what you want to get out of therapy.

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 Cypress, 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 Cypress, 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 Depression? 

Depression may have unique triggers and symptoms, depending on the person. However, for many people, depression may manifest itself as: 

  • Overeating or avoiding eating
  • Feeling chronically fatigued 
  • A noted lack of interest in sex, hobbies, or relationships
  • Feeling distant from loved ones and friends 
  • Decreased work performance
  • Lack of self-care (i.e. personal hygiene or a clean living environment)
  • Abuse of drugs and alcohol to cope with emotional pain 

When you sit down to talk to a mental health professional at Thriveworks in Cypress, TX you’ll have the opportunity to explain how you’re feeling. Your provider will listen to you, and then use your feedback to help you better understand and manage your depression. 

What Are My Treatment Options for Depression? 

Your treatment will vary depending on your personal preferences, as well as the severity of your depression. For some people with more manageable cases of depression, talking to a therapist or psychologist offers a great way to cope with their painful symptoms, and can help them learn ways to mitigate depression’s effect on their daily life. 

For other clients, especially those with more disruptive instances of depression, psychiatric care is often the preferred choice. A psychiatric NP can offer a unique treatment method involving prescription medication with the possibility of incorporated therapy, as well. 

Are There Different Types of Depression? 

Yes, and your provider’s treatment methods may also depend on the type of depression that you’re diagnosed with. It’s important to note that there are many different types of depression, but some of the most common that our providers can treat include: 

  • Major depressive disorder: This condition captures the popular perception of depression. Those with major depression experience emotional detachment and hopelessness. These factors usually take away from their work, relationships, and hobbies. 
  • Postpartum depression: Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that arises after a woman gives birth. Women who undergo caesarian sections or experience a miscarriage are even more likely to experience this type of depression.
  • Minor depression: As the name suggests, minor depression is related to major depression—it’s typically severe in its effect and duration. Still, those with this condition often will seem distant, withdrawn, or overwhelmed with sadness. Minor depression can be harder to detect. 
  •  Bipolar disorder: This mental health condition can alter someone’s emotions wildly, ranging from elation in one moment to overwhelming despair in the next. Those with bipolar disorder might find it hard to maintain close relationships or jobs due to their unpredictable mood swings.
