My go-to approach for treating depression is acceptance and commitment therapy. I enjoy this modality because it integrates the use of distress tolerance skills as well as values exploration. Clients are encouraged to engage in non-judgmental awareness and acceptance of their thoughts and but also activities that promote a sense of purpose, enjoyment, and fulfillment.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling: accurate identification of feelings, sensations, and unproductive thoughts/beliefs; emotional regulation/distress tolerance skills; cognitive defusion skills (creating healthy distance between self and unproductive/negative thoughts/feelings/sensations); values assessment and exploration of activities that provide access to sense of purpose, fulfillment, satisfaction, and meaning; as well as self-compassion and self-validation skills where clients are encouraged to relate themselves to personal friends, a loved one, or their “younger self.”
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they report the ability to navigate difficult thoughts with increased emotional regulation, understanding, and self-compassion and lean into activities that provide a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and personal agency.
Clients can supplement their time in depression therapy with mindfulness, deep-breathing exercises, grounding practices, increased awareness of their authentic emotions, recognition of unproductive thoughts, and engagement in self-compassion and activities that nurture their personal values.
To prepare for a depression therapy session, someone can begin by identifying the unproductive thoughts/beliefs that lead to emotional distress and problematic behaviors so that they are better prepared to interact with these thoughts in healthier ways, thereby increasing regulation and personal agency. The client is also encouraged to explore personal values, strengths, skills, abilities, preferences, and other resources for support.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Henrico, VA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
