Common approaches to Grief & loss counseling

Starting Grief & loss counseling in Johnson City

What type of counseling is needed when a person cannot get over the grief of losing a loved one?

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 Johnson City, TN have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.

How does grief and loss counseling work?

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 Johnson City, TN will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.

Signs I should seek grief counseling

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.

What counseling theory is best for grief?

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.

Is grief counseling conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does grief counseling last?

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.

Need more help deciding?

Losing someone we love is one of the most difficult experiences we will ever face. The counselors of Johnson City grief counseling can help you to understand your grief and begin the process of healing.

Simply give us a call at (423) 556-4554 or book online today.

What Should I Expect When Grieving?

Some of the things you may experience while grieving are:

  • Intense and changing emotions including anger, sadness, loneliness
  • Fatigue or low-energy
  • Others experiencing the loss in different ways than you
  • Feeling as though or being told you “should be over it already”
  • People may say seemingly thoughtless things or nothing at all. They aren’t uncaring. People often struggle with what to say to someone suffering a loss.
  • Feeling as if you’ll never be happy again (You will.)
  • Needing to remember your loved one. It’s ok to still love them and talk about them.
  • Needing support. (It’s not a sign of weakness.)

When Do I Need Help?

Here are some signs that counseling might be helpful:

  • Your depression is persistent and overwhelming preventing you from carrying out day-to-day activities such as going to work or school, bathing, routine chores
  • You are using alcohol or medications more often to cope with your feelings
  • You are not sleeping well on most nights (nightmares, broken sleep, insomnia)
  • Your appetite is disrupted causing significant weight gain or loss
  • You have experienced multiple losses in a short period of time
  • You have thoughts of death or dying

At Johnson City, TN we have counselors with the experience and training to help you through your grief. Johnson City grief counseling can help. Call us today at (423) 556-4554 to schedule your appointment.

★★★★★
I have met with MJ ( Marissa) Jordan at the Johnson City,TN location for 5-6 sessions. My main issue is gaining understanding and knowledge of how and why I act the way I do, and what changes I need to make. Her ability to help me understand and change without feeling bad about myself is amazing! She uses enlightening personal examples that make it easy for me to comprehend. I am learning so much about how making a few positive changes will allow me to become a better person. I highly suggest MJ if you're looking for help with personal issues!
