What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for treating depression is taking a person-centered approach to allow the client to verbalize what is on their mind.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I teach the following tools in depression counseling:

  • Identification of feelings: A lot of times, people do not properly identify what they are feeling.
  • Expression of feelings: People need to learn ways of appropriately expressing their emotions.
  • Increase self-esteem: People need to add self-care into their day to replenish their sense of self.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they feel motivated to do things that bring them joy, they are taking care of their daily needs, and they are being an active participant in their life.

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

Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with journaling, which is a safe way to clear out their thoughts and feelings.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can make a list of things that you used to do that you no longer find pleasurable and what goals you want to work towards.

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 Roanoke, VA 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 Roanoke, VA 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.

Roanoke Depression Counseling & Therapy

Most people who haven’t experienced real depression think of it as sadness, but depression couldn’t be more different. If you’re reading this, you know that to be true. If they haven’t been depressed, then they very likely don’t understand what it is that you’re really experiencing. Depression can make you feel as if the entire world is closing in around you, blocking out even the faintest ray of hope that things could ever get better. Happiness seems like a foreign concept; being happy doesn’t even make sense anymore.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris in a professional capacity for 6 years, during which time he provided individual counseling for a number of children that I referred to him. Chris always demonstrated a sincere empathetic sensibility in his relationship with his clientele. He is keenly adept at providing the skills and guidance that allows others to pursue a self-actualizing understanding and awareness of themselves. He is a superb counselor.
