My go-to approach for treating depression is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I prefer DBT because it provides more effective strategies to better manage depressive symptoms through mindfulness and self-care.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when a client can experience depressive symptoms without the symptoms interfering with daily routines.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with mindfulness journaling to be more mindful of depression's involvement in life.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can expect to be met with compassion and understanding with a welcoming atmosphere to make the experience comfortable.

One of the tricky things about depression, as well as many other mental health conditions, is that the symptoms can look different from person to person. For example, one individual might feel empty, hopeless, unmotivated; another might experience more physical symptoms like difficulty sleeping or changes in weight and appetite.
That said, there are common depression symptoms that you should know about. “The major signs and symptoms of depression include physical and psychological symptoms,” explains Lilliam Rodriquez, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist at our Norwalk office. “The physical symptoms can include poor sleep/over sleeping, poor appetite/increased appetite, little to no energy, feeling constantly tired, and having difficulties completing day to day tasks due to feeling exhausted. Psychological symptoms include feeling badly for yourself, feelings of hopelessness for the future, feeling like its you against the world, anhedonia (not being able to experience any pleasure), and feeling like your walking with a dark cloud over your head. You can experience some or many of these symptoms, among others.”
Depression therapy has proven to help people with depression, in a few specific ways: “Depression counseling can greatly impact the duration and course of depression. Many times treatment can provide you with a better understanding of your depression, particular triggers, how it impacts you and your life specifically, identify what are your strengths, provide you with tools to manage your symptoms, and achieve recovery,” says Rodriquez. “Counseling can also equip you to identify early symptoms of depression, if you were to experience reoccurring episodes, before becoming consumed by depression’s symptoms and impact.”
