Starting Loneliness counseling

What is loneliness counseling?

Loneliness counseling is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals navigate the emotional challenges and isolation associated with persistent loneliness. Counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Westminster, CO create a supportive and understanding environment where clients can delve into the root causes of their loneliness and develop strategies to establish meaningful social connections.

How does loneliness counseling work?

Loneliness counseling employs a multifaceted approach, utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe your negative thought patterns, enhance communication, and improve social skills. It also incorporates interpersonal therapy to address relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage feelings of loneliness and self-criticism. Goal-setting is also encouraged to help you actively pursue social connections and community engagement. Through these techniques, loneliness therapy empowers individuals to overcome isolation, develop meaningful relationships, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.

Is loneliness counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks loneliness counseling in Westminster, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does loneliness counseling last?

Loneliness counseling can take different amounts of time. It depends on how lonely a person is and how they’re doing in counseling. Normally, it involves many sessions that last from a few weeks to a few months. The exact number of sessions and how long it takes are determined with the loneliness counselor’s input.

Loneliness and Social Isolation Counseling in Westminster, CO

Loneliness is difficult to cope with. It is sometimes caused by social isolation – being physically separate from those around you – but often occurs even when a person has people around. It can be a devastating feeling that leads to physical aches and pains, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. It can lead to insomnia, sleeping too much, or changes in appetite. Thankfully there are steps to take.

One of the first things a person who’s feeling lonely can do is to accept that they’re feeling lonely. It can be difficult to make this admission. Sometimes it feels ridiculous because there are plenty of people around, or there are many things a person is grateful for in their life. They feel that they shouldn’t feel lonely. But they do.

Fortunately, a therapist can help the person throughout this process and make personal recommendations for their unique situation. Reach out to Thriveworks if you’d like to schedule loneliness counseling today.

Acknowledging and Healing from Loneliness

There are many ways to acknowledge loneliness. A person might write in a diary, write a letter to a friend, paint a picture, write a song, or talk about it directly with their counselor. When the feelings are expressed discoveries can begin and a person can find out what is connected to their loneliness, whether it’s anger, frustration, sadness, or another emotion.

Put simply, that means that it’s a feeling that is likely to continue until something is done about it. It is not something that needs to be maintained – it will simply stick around. One way to do that is to become more active. Get together with friends or family members, write letters, call people on the telephone, or send an email.

Schedule Therapy or Counseling for Loneliness with Thriveworks

While it’s good to reach out and re-build up relationships that have been in their lives, people can also establish new ones by getting involved in activities or clubs in the area. Some people don’t feel ready to do this but often find if they push through their fear that they start feeling better much quicker.

For other people, some work needs to be done before they can put themselves out there in the community. At Thriveworks Westminster Counseling & Coaching we can help assess your specific needs and find you the help you need. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances. In addition, we can often get new clients in within the same week of scheduling.

Since day one Marie has been so nice and understanding of all my issues with anger. She has helped me so much to take a step back and analyze issues and approach them in a very calm manner and retrain my brain to deal with anxiety issues that lead to anger. She has helped a ton in putting forth effort to better my marriage and other relationships with family. I couldn’t thank her enough for all her help in the last couple of months and in the future! Love her!! Definitely recommend her!

I was fortunate enough to work with David Fletcher-Janzen. Dave is such a good listener and so kind and compassionate. I have known Dave for many years and have the utmost respect and admiration, not just for his professional expertise, but also for the kind, empathetic and caring human being that is Dave. Dave works hard to help his clients and is passionate about his professional calling. He is highly skilled and has many years experience in his field. I wouldn't consider going to anyone else.
