Hear from our clinicians

What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

Brianna: My go-to approach for treating depression is to start with finding areas of change to increase activity and finding healthy ways to separate from depressive thoughts. I find this method beneficial as it can help clients act opposite from depressive symptoms in a supportive way.

Rosetta: My go-to approach for treating depression is to aid the client in understanding that depression affects more than mental health, but also physical health. I find the best benefit in using CBT and behavior activation because they're evidence-based practices that can help the client manage their depressive symptoms.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

Brianna: In depression counseling, I teach the following tools:

  • Behavioral change - helping clients find things they enjoy, change daily habits to live healthier, and disengage from behaviors that fuel depression
  • Acceptance - teaching clients ways to view symptoms without judgment
  • Present-focus - focusing on the present experience rather than feeling 'stuck' in past events
  • Cognitive reframing - changing depressive thoughts from something distressing to something helpful

Rosetta: I teach the following tools in depression counseling: self-care exercises such as looking at sleep patterns, getting the nutrition needed to help the mind and body, and stress management, among many others.

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

Brianna: I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when the client and I can see clear behavior changes that help the client feel more capable and confident in engaging in daily life.

Rosetta: I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when scores on assessment tools such as the PHQ-9 (which quantifies symptoms) are lowered. Also, when any positive changes in thoughts, emotions, and actions are reported in the client's day-to-day.

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

Brianna: Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling by attempting small goals, such as doing a load of laundry, making their bed, cooking one meal at home, etc.

Rosetta: Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with the utilization of coping skills learned in sessions, mood tracking, and tracking thought patterns.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

Brianna: To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can think of how you felt before you were depressed, as this can help make what you are working toward more clear. It can also help to identify what you want to get out of the therapy experience.

Rosetta: To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can think about what life looks like without depression. How would you like to get there?
