My main approach for treating depression is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I prefer this approach because the way one thinks affects the way one acts and also influences overall feelings.
During depression counseling, I teach the following tools:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they are feeling better overall, have a lower score on depression inventory (scale), report better moods, fewer negative thoughts, and have more energy.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with exercise, starting hobbies, being in positive social groups, and journaling.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can list out times in your life when you felt sad and why, and express current overall feelings and thoughts that are getting in the way of positive functioning in life.
