Common approaches to Depression counseling

Fallon Wall

Hear from Fallon Wall, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)

View Fallon Wall's profile

What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for treating depression is CBT. I find the best fit in CBT because it may help change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I teach the following tools in depression counseling:

  • Challenge, reframe, and refocus thoughts
  • Mindfulness practices
  • Emotion regulation skills
  • Cognitive restructuring

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 thinking has shifted, moods and emotions have improved, and behaviors have changed.

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

Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with self-care practices and using stress management tips.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can schedule your first session at a convenient time, be open and honest, don't be afraid to ask questions, and be prepared to set goals.

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 Charlotte, NC 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 Charlotte, NC 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 accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state.

How Can Counseling Help Me?

Your counseling sessions will be tailored to you and your presentation of depression.

  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): IPT focuses on improving communication and resolving interpersonal conflicts, alleviating symptoms of depression.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps individuals accept their emotions while committing to actions aligned with their values, reducing depressive symptoms.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy: This therapy explores unconscious patterns and conflicts, providing insight into underlying causes of depression and promoting emotional healing.

It is obvious from working with Dr. Patricia Krikorian that counseling is not a career for her as much as it is a calling. She is compassionate, professional, non-judgmental, and supportive. Her ability to get to the root of the problem and provide helpful and personal counseling solutions is a testament to her years of counseling experience. I highly recommend Dr. Krikorian!! She is passionate about helping others!

I just wanted to say that Dr. Patricia Krikorian is a gem! She was my college professor and taught my Counseling class. She required us to be students of excellence because she is a woman of excellence. She passionately cares about helping anyone who needs guidance on how to navigate through life difficulties. She has many years of experience in her craft and takes pride in helping many throughout her career. She is by no means a novice and is well-respected by me and others.
