My go-to approach for treating anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy after, and psychoeducation. I prefer these approaches as I see the best benefit in providing the coping tools in these approaches; they help lessen anxiety and psychoeducation helps my clients understand where the anxiety is stemming from and how these tools work to lessen the anxiety. My go-to approach for treating depression is first exploring if there is a source to the depression. If there is a source, from there I approach it with mindfulness, behavioral activation, challenging to find positives, and practicing gratitude. I prefer to use these methods because they help with rewiring how the brain is thinking and challenging it and they teach the mind to seek out good things.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:
I know a client is making progress in anxiety therapy when they begin rating their anxiety down 3-5 steps depending on where it was when we began; say it began at a 9 or a 10 as extremes and came down to a 6 or 7 or a 4 or 5. We aim to get anxiety down to a 4 or 5, with 6 being a manageable level, while still having anxiety. The client will be using their tools and effectively managing their anxiety with the skills they have learned. I know a client is making meaningful progress in treating their depression in counseling when they are rating their depression around a 3-5 in severity compared to a higher level of severity on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being extreme).
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with journaling, engaging in meditation, working out, spending time with friends, spending time in nature, and doing something they enjoy such as reading/playing games/watching shows/etc. I always encourage the use of the Calm app or looking up meditations on YouTube. For depression counseling, clients can engage in seeking the positives in each day and examining what they are grateful for outside of counseling. I also encourage clients to exercise, eat healthy, drink water, and try to establish good sleep habits in addition to spending time with people that love them.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy or depression counseling session, you can make a list of the sources of your anxiety or depression (if you can identify one) so that you can discuss them in the session.
