My depression counseling services are tailored to each client's specific needs, focusing on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of depression. The primary goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to discuss your thoughts and feelings.

I use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ACT, and DBT all of which are proven to be effective in treating depression. These modalities are centered around the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected. The approach aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with positive, adaptive ones.

Through counseling, I help you identify the negative thought patterns that often contribute to depressive symptoms such as hopelessness, low self-esteem, and persistent sadness. I then work collaboratively with you to undertake practical solutions and set achievable goals, which in turn promote a sense of progress and well-being.

My depression counseling sessions are structured to help clients develop coping strategies for managing negative thoughts and behaviors, promote self-care and enhance interpersonal relationships.

At Skippergosh Therapy and Counseling, I focus on providing you with empathy, support, and tools necessary to overcome your depression. I strongly emphasize providing a safe and secure environment where you can delve into their deepest thoughts and issues. My ultimate goal is to help you reclaim joy and meaning in your life while developing valuable skills you can rely on long after therapy has concluded.
