Depression
Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
I approach depression by helping clients reconnect with meaning, values, and a sense of agency, rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction. Our work blends emotional processing with practical, values-aligned action to gently restore momentum, self-trust, and engagement with life. Therapy with a client experiencing depression is collaborative, paced, and centered on the whole person, not just the depression.

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C

You might feel stuck in self-criticism or like you’re just going through the motions. I offer therapy that meets you with warmth, curiosity, and respect, helping you understand what’s underneath the sadness and gently reconnect with purpose, energy, and hope.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)

I have an existential focus in my practice that presumes that all individuals seek meaning, purpose, and self-actualization. I believe that depressive symptoms derive from a lack of meaning and purpose.

Norma J. Perez

I approach depression initially by exploring your life circumstances and/or the thoughts going through your head that are trigging your mood. There are times when we may want to look at the old tape recordings playing through your head triggering depression. Once I have an idea of what is fueling your depression then we can target that. I teach your how to use thought strategies and behavior strategies to reduce depression and improve your mood. My goal is to teach you several tools so that in any given situation, you have a tool to use.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Everything takes more effort than it should. Getting out of bed. Returning texts. Caring about things you used to care about. From the outside your life might look fine, but inside you're running on empty and wondering when you started feeling so disconnected from yourself. Depression lies to you. It tells you nothing will help, that you've always been this way, that you're a burden for even talking about it. We know how to work with depression, how to help you find your way back to yourself without pretending it's as simple as thinking positive thoughts. This is slow, honest work, and we'll be with you for it. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
Depression often ebbs and flows. One day, a client may feel capable and hopeful; the next, they may struggle to get out of bed. It’s rarely a straight line to recovery. Progress can feel like a roller coaster—filled with starts, stops, and setbacks.
I help clients build skills they can use not just now, but later—when symptoms may return. We work on reframing negative thought patterns, challenging entrenched beliefs, and developing emotional regulation strategies.
Depression often brings a sense of hopelessness. I counter this by helping clients identify exceptions—moments when they felt even slightly better—and build on those all while empowering clients to recognize their strengths and past successes.
