My go-to approach for treating anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy. There is a lot of evidence that CBT is very effective for treating anxiety. With this approach, clients learn ways to reduce and manage their anxiety so they can live more fulfilling lives.
My go-to approach for working with clients who are suffering from depression is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I have seen clients benefit greatly from what CBT has to offer.
Some of the tools that I teach in therapy are mindfulness techniques, breathing strategies, stress management, cognitive restructuring strategies, and communication skills. With clients who are interested, I also will use exposure therapy strategies to help reduce their anxiety in anxiety-provoking situations.
I teach a variety of tools when working with clients struggling with depression, such as:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they start to believe they can manage their anxiety. They will often report feeling less anxiety and that anxiety has less of an impact on them in their lives.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they are feeling better and making the changes they have wanted to make. I observe clients becoming more active and engaged in their lives.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by practicing the tools and strategies they have learned in sessions. This practice often helps in making faster progress reducing and managing anxiety.

To prepare for you first session, you can think about what you would like to see change in your life as a result of therapy. Knowing some of your goals can help to jump-start the therapy process.

Those who haven’t experienced depression sometimes think of it as a period of sadness that you can “just get over.” Unfortunately, depression is a lot more serious than just a bad day. Depression can cause you to lose interest in your favorite activities and even lose interest in just getting out of bed in the mornings. A bad day is something we all experience, but depression is often debilitating, requiring the help of a therapist and occasionally prescription medication to manage.
Similarly, anxiety can cause a list of difficulties, including high blood pressure and what feels like an inability to enjoy daily activities. If you’ve been suffering, contact us.

Depression and anxiety are separate disorders, but they often occur together. After a period of anxiety, the person suffering may become depressed about their experience. And if someone has been experiencing depression for a long time, it can cause them to develop anxiety. If you are only experiencing one or the other, they have overlapping symptoms that make it difficult to pin down which disorder you are experiencing without the help of a professional.
Fortunately, the counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Worcester can help their clients manage both anxiety and depression. Channell explains how this might work for depression: “There are a variety of different techniques a clinician may use to help clients with depression. One of the most common and effective therapeutic treatments is cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT. The basic premise of CBT is that our thoughts and attitudes contribute to our depressed mood.” Similarly, our thoughts and attitudes can cause anxiety, which means that CBT can help treat both depression and anxiety.
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, or if you just know something is wrong, contact Thriveworks Counseling in Worcester. Our counselors have helped many clients overcome their depression or anxiety, and we are ready to help you too.
