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.
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.
Common signs of depression include:
Thriveworks depression counseling in , OH is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

Consider this: you have been feeling down recently and can’t seem to find the motivation to get out of bed most days. You have stopped eating enough food, you avoid answering the phone when your loved ones call, and you have started letting assignments slip at work. Your friends notice that you are spending less time with them and are starting to worry about your wellbeing. They recommend that you look into speaking with a depression therapist, so you do. After a few weeks, you start to feel more like yourself again. You smile more, enjoy eating out again, and make time to see the people you love.
Can you relate to how that feels? Do you wish that you could feel that relief wash over you?
It is so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling – that really hollowed-out feeling.”
–J.K. Rowling
Depression can be really hard to overcome on your own. You might feel alone and like no one understands what you are feeling. Luckily, online depression therapists at Thriveworks Ohio have the training, skills, knowledge to help people through their depression. They have assisted and supported many people like you, and they are ready to help you on your journey, too. To get started, just give us a call.
Depression can affect everyone differently and is more than just feelings of sadness and grief. It is a persistent, looming feeling, or the feeling of having a grey cloud always over your head. Some of the different symptoms you could experience while battling depression include:
When someone experiences depression, they can find it very hard to complete everyday activities like cleaning, bathing, or changing clothes. By not being able to perform these simple tasks, it can make the person suffering from depression feel even worse. It becomes a never-ending, vicious cycle.
The type of depression you are facing can also affect how you feel or act. Your counselor will be able to diagnose what form of depression you have and base their treatment plan off of their findings. The different types of depression include:
Working with a licensed depression therapist can help you sift through difficult emotions and learn how to manage your symptoms. Don’t wait any longer to get the assistance you need. Reach out today.
Depression therapy in-person versus online does not differ in any way other than meeting with your counselor virtually or in-office. There are two types of online therapy you can choose between, which are:
Some people prefer one over the other so do not hesitate to switch between the two until you find the method that feels best for you. Your therapist will still provide you the same dedicated, compassionate, and understanding care you are looking for, all from the comfort of your own home. We understand how hard it can be to even get out of bed, let alone get into a car and drive to an appointment. That’s why we offer our clients the ease and accessibility of online counseling.
Once you decide to work with an online depression therapist, they will help you move through depression and learn how to manage your symptoms. We want to help you get back to a happier, healthier state of being. Although it takes time, we know you will make meaningful progress to get you on that path.
Depression is scary and you shouldn’t have to face it alone. If you are experiencing any signs of depression, it may be time for you to get some professional help. Consider reaching out to Thriveworks Ohio Counseling. We have a wide range of appointment time to include daytime, evenings, and weekends. Also, we do not operate on a waitlist. Our clients are our number one priority. That’s why we are almost always able to get you an appointment within 24 hours of your initial call.
Don’t wait any longer. Give us a call. We are here to help.
