My go-to approaches for treating depression are CBT, psychoeducation, and person-centered therapy. It is important to validate clients' feelings, but it is also important to teach what depression is like, chemically, in our body and how to boost mood organically or with the help of medication (if needed). Clients additionally benefit from learning the power of their thoughts and how they can dictate/control how they are feeling.
Tools learned in depression counseling are learning how to make small goals, being kind to oneself, being okay/learning how to ask for help, implementing self-care, and potentially scheduling more social outings. If needed, any harm reduction approaches are implemented in the case of self-harm on top of depression symptoms.
I know when a client is making progress in depression counseling by observation first. It is evident when someone physically appears in a better mood, energy levels increase, smiles more, and has even more desire/openness for things. If a client completes self-reports, scores can indicate progress with decreased numbers. If any additional person is involved (such as parents) sometimes their observed feedback helps as well.
Clients can supplement their time outside of therapy by practicing coping skills taught in therapy, using any recommendations provided, and/or taking medication if they are taking one.
To prepare, please just come as you are. The first important step to getting help is to ask for it!

Anxiety & depression counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Anxiety & depression counseling from Thriveworks Owings Mills therapists can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s anxiety or depression as well as their needs and preferences.
No one asks for anxiety. No one asks for depression. Yet they are two of the most common mental illnesses and their links to each other can often be intertwined. The good news is that both anxiety and depression are treatable, and many people who receive therapy go on to lead happy, positive, and successful lives. If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, a great first step is to recognize you need help and seek out counseling and treatment. Thriveworks Counseling in Owings Mills, MD is standing by with a team ready to provide you with support, care, and a plan to get you where you want to be in life.
Many people experience occasional anxiety. Think about all the typical stressors that we face every day: traffic jams, taking care of children or the elderly, paying bills, giving a big presentation at work. We’ve all been there at one time or another. Some symptoms you may experience include:
Sometimes these normal anxiety symptoms become something much different – an anxiety disorder. This occurs when everyday anxious feelings become harder to cope with. More than temporary worry or fear, an anxiety disorder does not go away quickly and may even get worse over time if it remains untreated.
If you are experiencing any fears or worries that are preventing you from doing all the things you enjoy, you can be assured there is therapy for anxiety with a professional at Thriveworks Counseling in Owings Mills. Our staff can set you up with an appointment, usually within 24 hours.
Feeling sad or upset is normal, too. We can experience sad feelings during major life events such as a divorce, loss of a loved one, or an unexpected change in our routine. However, when these feelings become severe and are felt for many days or weeks, it may be caused by depression. Not everyone will have the same symptoms, and not everyone will experience the symptoms for the same duration. Some signs of depression include:
There is hope for those with depression. There is hope for those with anxiety. While it is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of these mental illnesses, it is just as important to talk to professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Owings Mills, MD who can effectively evaluate, diagnose, and treat anxiety and depression.
An experienced team of professionals at Thriveworks Counseling is ready to help. New clients can often expect to meet their counselor within the same week as scheduling. We offer flexibility with our appointment times as well as convenient options such as online video counseling.
