My go-to approach for treating depression is exploring with each client the factors that may be contributing to depression. I find the best benefit in connecting with clients and building rapport so they feel understood regarding their experience with depression.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they consistently report improvement in their mood for 3-4 weeks.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with meaningful activities, socialization, learned skills in therapy, and consulting their primary care doctor to rule out any physical health problems such as vitamin deficiencies.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can record a description of any previous experience with depression and contributing factors.
