What to Expect in Counseling Therapy for Depression

Between conflict in your personal relationships, current events, and hardships in your life, it’s understandable if you feel depressed sometimes. You’re not alone. According to the World Health Organization, over 280 million people worldwide are affected by depression. If you have depression, and find it hard to function in your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking help through counseling. Counseling therapy for depression can help you work through your depression so you can live a happier, healthier life. 

Here’s What Counseling Therapy for Depression Might Look Like

Once you find a therapist that’s a good match for you, therapy can begin to help you work through your depression. Here’s what you might expect from counseling:

• A warm environment where you can open up and be honest about what you are feeling
• Someone who is there to listen. A good therapist isn’t biased or judgmental. Therapists might offer advice and insight, but they should never make you feel uncomfortable or judged
• Learn healthy coping skills and mechanisms
• Understand why you feel the way you do
• Unpack what’s bothering you; whether that’s daily conflict and hardships or past trauma that you’re still grappling with
• A sense that you are working toward a better future, sense of self, and a way to be healthier and happier in your daily life
