In therapy, we will use different skills and techniques that are tailored specifically for you and your needs/goals. We all have different personalities and ways we perceive the world where we need to learn how to manage concerns/stressors that arise. Whether you are struggling with daily routines, time management and organizational skills, financial concerns, fear/worries, sadness, unhealthy coping skills, religious struggles, medical concerns, and more, we will work together to achieve the goals you desire in a holistic manner.
We all need someone to talk with in a world of "virtual reality" where we can work through the treasures of our hearts that we hold dear. Be encouraged; you are not alone. Talking to a stranger about your hurt, pain, sorrow, and disappointments is not easy, but you have the strength within you to reach out for help where you will have a warm and welcoming space awaiting you.

Go-to approaches for grief and loss-related counseling include cognitive behavioral therapy and a strengths-based approach.
Clinicians teach cognitive behavioral skills and mindfulness.
A client can know if they are making meaningful progress if they are noticing an increase in their ability to function, quality of life, and ability to process the loss.
Clients can supplement their grief and loss counseling with couples therapy, mindfulness, and engaging in activities meaningful that are to them.
Clients can prepare for grief and loss counseling by first knowing that sometimes, therapy feels worse before things get better! Clients can also know what they’d like to work on and have some goals identified.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Attleboro, MA have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Attleboro, MA will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
