My go-to approach for depression counseling is dialectical behavior therapy. I find benefit in the acknowledgment of the client's pain, and in working through and holding space for the depression while working towards healing.
Tools that I teach in depression counseling are processing and coping skills such as journaling.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when the frequency and intensity of their symptoms such as crying or not being able to get out of bed decreases and their mood improves.
Clients can supplement depression counseling by processing and journaling in their personal time between counseling sessions.
To prepare for depression counseling, make a list of symptoms to share with the therapist during your initial session.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Irving, TX will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
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.

If you’re experiencing depression symptoms, it may be time to seek out the help of a therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Irving, TX.
If you’ve been suffering from depression, it’s easy to feel like there’s no hope. However, this is far from the truth. Coping with depression may not be easy at first, but it is a highly treatable illness with the guidance of an experienced counselor.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the tools a professional counselor can use to help you overcome depression. Many clients are surprised by how much of an impact their thoughts have on their own mental health. CBT can help you identify negative thinking patterns, adjust those thoughts, and develop coping strategies that more effectively regulate your emotions and behaviors.
Depending on your situation, you may also be prescribed medication. Depressive disorders often call for a customized approach to treatment, so you can expect your therapist to help you find the treatment plan that works best for you.
Depression doesn’t have to prevent you from living your life the way you want. Speak to a licensed counselor today at Thriveworks Counseling in Irving, TX.
