What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for treating depression is holding space for feelings. I find that providing someone space where they can process their emotions gives them the opportunity to listen to themselves and discover what their goal is.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

Self-care is always a helpful place to start when beginning a therapy journey. Discussing self-care and providing information on what it is is often helpful in regaining energy to manage day-to-day tasks. Emotional regulation skills are also very helpful for navigating depression. Depression can feel like an emotional or energy sap, and emotional regulation skills can help increase a person's ability to maintain/improve energy levels.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in counseling when they tell me they are. As a social worker, I believe that the client is the expert in their life. As the clinician, I am here as a supporter and a listener to help them reach their goals.

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

Clients can supplement their time in counseling by listening to their bodies. Checking in with yourself can help you know when to push yourself and when to be gentle with yourself. Every person's healing journey is unique, and taking care of yourself is a great way to have the energy to make the progress that you want to make.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

Every person's healing journey is unique. One way to prepare for your first counseling session is to think about what your goal in therapy is.

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 Greenville, SC 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.

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue

Is depression counseling conducted in person or online?

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.

What Is Depression?

Depression affects approximately 15 million adults in America in any given year. Depression often stems from an event or circumstance, which negatively impacts the way a person thinks or feels. It often leads to both emotional and physical problems that can impact a person’s ability to perform routine tasks at home and work.

It’s important to recognize that depression is not simply grief or sadness. If you have experienced the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, significant changes in health or wellness, or other life transitions, you may still benefit from speaking with a counselor. These experiences occur as part of our normal daily lives. Feelings of grief and sadness often come and go, the intensity of which generally diminishes over time. However, if you have experienced depressed mood and feelings of despair for more than two weeks, don’t wait another day – contact a supportive and encouraging depression counselor today.

Symptoms of Depression

While the source of depression is varied, there are many common symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:

  • Loss of energy
  • Fatigue
  • Prolonged sadness
  • Withdrawal from social activities
  • Changes in mood/irritability
  • Loss of interest in routine tasks
  • Difficulty remaining focused
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Feelings of worthlessness
  • Increased thoughts of death or suicide
  • Loss of appetite/increased appetite

If you’re suffering from one or more of these symptoms, you may be dealing with depression. There’s never been a better time to begin your journey of healing. You can get help for depression. A caring and supportive depression therapist in Greenville is ready to help you.

I have been seeing a therapist via Thriveworks every other week for several months and I couldn't be happier. The intake form was easy to fill out and somehow managed to put me with someone who works perfectly with me. She works at my pace, she understands and works towards our goals, and she helps me to see things more clearly as we process the issues at hand. She never 'tells me' what the issue is or how to solve but instead she leads me there so I can see it on my own as that is much more effective. I was very nervous about online therapy but after this experience with Kristen, I would recommend it to everyone, regardless of the severity of their issues. Kristen is a true professional and can ebb and flow as I am ready to process things. She has been a game changer for me, my family, and my colleagues.

Mr Sachs has been outstanding with his handling of our sessions. Personally, I believe that therapy/counseling is truly a personal experience and the therapist needs to be matched to the patient as much as the patient with the therapist. I feel like he was a perfect fit for what we needed with our sessions.
