Depression
Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to treat depression can help you learn new ways to manage your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty about them. ACT encourages commit to actions aligned with your values, in hopes of creating a sense of purpose and direction. By emphasizing mindfulness and psychological flexibility, ACT helps individuals to live more fully in the present moment and to navigate depressive symptoms with greater resilience. This approach can reduce the impact of depression on daily life and improve overall mental health.

Depression
Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When you’re struggling with depression, even small tasks can feel overwhelming. You might feel detached, irritable, or like you’ve lost your sense of direction. It’s understandable to feel discouraged or wonder if things can really get better — but you don’t have to stay in that place. Therapy can help you understand what’s beneath the sadness or numbness, reconnect with yourself, and begin making small but meaningful shifts toward relief. Together, we’ll work to rebuild motivation, strengthen your sense of purpose, and open space for joy and energy to return to your life.

Depression
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
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Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.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..."
