My go-to approach for treating depression is educate on the cycle of depression, educate on effective medication treatments in conjunction with talk therapy, triggers to depression, effective strategies to manage depression and identification of core issues that contribute to depression.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they are more active in their sessions, report less depression, report more engaged in their life, increased energy and effective use of tools taught
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with medication compliance if they are on medication, use of strategies taught, journaling, exercise, healthy diet
To prepare for your first depression therapy session, you can be open and honest with the therapist, identify specific goals you hope to achieve. If you are meeting with your therapist via Zoom, make sure your internet is fast enough, that you aren't driving in your car, that you have a private place to meet, schedule some quiet time for after the session and have an open mind and heart to the process

Therapy can benefit anyone experiencing symptoms of depression or another mood disorder. Treatment usually follows a multi-faceted approach and is adapted to each person’s specific needs. Most treatment plans will include some form of psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, which has been shown to be highly effective in treating depression.
One commonly used form of talk therapy is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and understand their negative thought patterns and how they contribute to worsening symptoms or regretful behaviors. CBT can help you change these harmful thought patterns through problem-solving and practice.
Some clients also benefit from prescription medication, such as antidepressants, to alleviate their depression symptoms. Your Thriveworks provider will determine whether medication is necessary in your case; if it is, they can monitor your dosage and keep an eye out for any potential side effects.
