Depression Therapy and Treatment: How Does It Work?

While there are many treatments that may work for depression, it’s important to understand that there is no fool-proof option that works for everyone. Different people may respond better to one type of therapy while others respond to another form of treatment. That’s why it’s important to work with a therapist: they can help assess you and find the right match. Not only can your depression be reduced or gone for good, but you can learn how to cope with life’s difficulties. “Counseling can help manage depression as it gives you a place to talk about how you’ve been feeling and learn more about your depression,” explains Corey Bisceglia-Kane, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker at our Brookline office. “People with depression often struggle with achieving tasks and experiencing pleasure. Therapy can help you set small achievement and pleasure goals to begin to recover from depression and your therapist can keep you accountable to attaining those goals or troubleshoot if/why you were unable to do them.” 

Many people who choose not to pursue or receive depression therapy make their decision based on things that simply aren’t true. One common myth is that all therapy entails is complaining about your problems. In reality, you’ll likely talk about the past but more of your therapy will revolve around what’s going on with you today and how you can learn to live a happier, more fulfilling life with healthy habits that support this happiness and fulfillment. Your counselor may give specific advice that will help you monitor and manage your depression, like writing in a diary, becoming more involved with friends and family, or keeping track of your moods.

Working with a Depression Therapist at Thriveworks in Brookline

Note that everyone who comes to us for depression therapy will have their own unique treatment plan but it’s likely that part of your treatment plan will involve working on your thoughts and emotions. You’ll learn how to handle the things you struggle with today. Counseling is an excellent source to obtain tools for dealing with all of life’s challenges.

When you work with a counselor you’ll begin to understand your depression, you’ll identify goals that will help improve your well-being, and you’ll learn the steps you need to take to reach those goals. For some people, this involves learning new stress-relieving methods, others learn to overcome their fears, and others learn how to overcome their insecurities. When you work with Thriveworks Counseling in Brookline, MA, our depression therapists and psychologists will help you make sense of your past, deal with your present, and teach you to overcome the things you struggle with.
