Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
My therapeutic approach for depression revolves around creating a supportive space for individuals to explore the roots of their feelings of sadness and despair. I recognize and validate the profound impact depression can have on my client's lives.
During our sessions, we collaboratively delve into the factors contributing to their depression, considering both situational triggers and underlying emotional patterns. Together, we work to identify strategies to address these factors, fostering a deeper understanding of the client's unique experience with depression.
My focus is on empowering clients to navigate and overcome depressive symptoms, including isolation, lethargy, and feelings of hopelessness. We explore coping mechanisms, develop resilience, and set realistic goals to create a path towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
By addressing the root causes and implementing practical strategies, the goal is to alleviate the impact of depression and build a foundation for lasting positive change. Through our therapeutic journey, individuals can gain insights, develop coping skills, and cultivate a renewed sense of purpose and well-being.

Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."
