Common approaches to Depression counseling

Krystin McAdams

Hear from Krystin McAdams, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

View Krystin McAdams's profile

What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

My go-to approach for treating depression is acceptance and commitment therapy. I enjoy ACT techniques because there is an emphasis on separating yourself from your thoughts, focusing on values versus just goals, and foinding what you find meaningful in life. Also, I like that it encourages the clinician to prioritize committed action. Mindfulness is also a key component.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

I teach the following tools in depression counseling: radical acceptance, discussing what activities increase a positive mood and/or contribute to a low mood, mindfulness (being in the present moment), and values (what makes life meaningful for you).

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they are able to remember what makes their life meaningful and engage in committed action, even when their mood is low. If the client is still working towards meaningful goals, that is a good sign of progress.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement depression counseling?

I encourage you to do the following to supplement time in depression counseling: engage in meaningful activities, remain in contact with your support system, and engage in mindfulness exercises.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can try to consider if the depression is due to circumstances (there is a very present stressor contributing to your low mood) or if you feel there is “nothing tangibly wrong” but you still feel a low mood more days than not.

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Newport News, VA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

How does depression counseling work?

Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.

Signs of depression

Common signs of depression include:

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability

I decided to seek counseling for the first time 3 months ago and I’m glad I did! It’s been a huge blessing for me, and my counselor James Martin is so wonderful! I look forward to our sessions and find myself feeling so good after them. Coming to counseling gives me an opportunity to talk about everything that has happened in the last two weeks and really process it. James has taught me a very important lesson of learning to accept things that happen in life & I’m really happy with Thriveworks. I tell people about you guys all the time!
