My go-to approach for treating depression is to help the client find movements and strategies that will decrease the frequency and intensity of depression. I assist the client in developing healthy cognitive patterns and beliefs about themself and the world that lead to alleviation and help prevent increased depression
I teach the following tools in depression counseling: assigning the client to keep a daily journal of automatic thoughts associated with depressed feelings, and assisting the client in discovering and implementing strategies that reduce depressive symptoms (including but not limited to more physical movement, less internal focus, and increased social involvement).
The client will demonstrate the ability to identify, manage, and communicate the intensity of experienced depression using a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most severe level of depression experienced and 1 being the lowest level of depression experienced. Progress will be made when overall depression is reduced and daily functioning is improved.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling by completing homework and journal assignments, and by scheduling activities that have a high likelihood of pleasure.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can: be prepared to describe current and past experiences with depression, complete with its impact on daily life and attempts to resolve it.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Pueblo, CO will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
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 Pueblo, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

Symptoms can change from one person to the next, but here is a list of common depression symptoms:
Again, the symptoms of depression can vary widely. However, depression is characterized by the two big symptoms of despair and a loss of general interest in life or day to day activities. So, if you relate to the aforementioned symptoms, please consider reaching out to a professional.
Unfortunately, there isn’t one easily identified cause of depression. Instead, there are many different factors that can contribute to the development and/or exacerbation of depression. For example, certain life experiences might trigger a bout of depression. Consider: a breakup, the loss of a loved one, or another particularly painful event. These can all contribute to depression. The good news is that when there is a recognizable cause or contributing factor, your therapist can use this information to inform your treatment plan and help you confront the cause.
Now, in instances in which the cause of your depression is not distinguishable, don’t worry. Depression therapy still proves effective in helping people manage their symptoms and get back to a happier, healthier place again. Additionally, medication for depression—like antidepressants—might also help.
We understand that you might feel scared, hopeless, uncertain. We also understand that our depression therapists are qualified to help. They can help you work through these and other painful emotions; they can help you address and manage your specific depression symptoms; they can help you explore any causes or contributing factors to your depression; and they can offer endless support during this confusing time in your life.
