My go-to approach for treating depression is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) - it allows you to find out triggers and even go deeper. Once stable with these symptoms, other symptoms can be addressed.
I teach the following tools in depression therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in counseling when the client is able to independently manage symptoms through the use of the helpful coping strategies I have taught them.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling by practicing self-care, with or without friends, and spending time in nature. Good nutrition is also important.
To prepare for your first counseling session you can talk with someone else who is in therapy, write questions down that you would like to ask your new therapist.
