My primary method for treating depression involves utilizing therapy techniques that cater to both the practical and underlying needs of each individual client. This typically involves a combination of cognitive behavioral approaches and emotion-focused techniques. I've found that no single approach works best for every client. By adopting an eclectic approach, I aim to tailor the treatment to the specific needs of each client. The ultimate goal is for the client to feel understood, acknowledged, and supported throughout their journey towards healing.

I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they begin to demonstrate increased and effective utilization of coping strategies, show improvements in managing the challenges they face, and build confidence in who they are, reporting minimized depressive symptoms.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with workshops, self-help resources, journaling exercises, mindfulness practices, or support groups to further enhance their mental and emotional well-being.
To prepare for your first session, you can start by jotting down any thoughts or feelings you've been experiencing lately and note any specific goals or outcomes you hope to achieve through therapy. Therapy is a collaborative process, so being prepared to engage and communicate openly can be beneficial.
