Grief is a healthy, normal, and multi-faceted response to loss, and it has emotional, physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. Bereavement refers to the state of loss, and grief to the reaction to loss. The grieving process can occur in many types of losses. The grieving process helps people accept loss and move forward. This process may be complicated if the relationship with the deceased was either ambivalent or challenging, or the death was sudden or violent. A humanistic, person centered approach works well, in allowing the client to feel heard and understood, and to know that what they are feeling and going through is a normal part of life.
Some topics covered in grief and loss counseling include:
When clients report that there is positive change in their lives, that is meaningful progress.
In order to make lasting improvement clients should put the coping skills into practice on a daily basis.
To prepare for the session clients should complete all paperwork and consents.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Peachtree City, GA have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake.

If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
