Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Depression can feel lonely and make daily tasks feel difficult to approach or complete. Symptoms of major depression may include sadness and withdrawal, irritability, loss of enjoyment, and changes with concentration, appetite and sleep. I help clients explore the challenges they are facing, identify goals, and develop a plan to reduce how depression impacts daily functioning.

Online Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions -AZ, IL, OH
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC
Depression can make even the simplest parts of life feel heavy getting out of bed, staying focused, or feeling connected to the people you love. I provide a warm, steady, and non‑judgmental space to help you understand what’s beneath the sadness, numbness, or exhaustion you’ve been carrying. Using evidence‑based approaches like CBT and mindfulness based strategies, we work together to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, rebuild motivation, and strengthen emotional resilience. For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian based support to offer hope, grounding, and meaning during difficult seasons. You don’t have to navigate depression alone healing is possible, and support is here.

W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression is a challenging mental health condition that goes beyond temporary feelings of sadness. For some, it is a constant state of feeling irritable, and for others, feelings of inadequacy and thoughts of 'What's the point?’ It's not just an occasional down day but a persistent sense of sorrow, emotional numbness, irritable mood, and disinterest in once-enjoyed activities. I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Depression is treatable, and together, we can begin your healing journey.

Kristen W. Green
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy as a first-line approach to the treatment of depression. Often mindfulness is incorporated into depression treatment, as are DBT skills.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
While depression isn't my primary focus a recent meta-analysis (study combining many studies) proved that focusing on treating worry and anxiety relieves depression as much as targeting it directly. My unique and simple approach to cognitive therapy for anxiety applies equally well to depression. Nonetheless, when we used relaxation only, to target worry and anxiety, it lifted depression as much as those groups who used cognitive therapy. However, if you are so depressed that you have recently contemplated suicide, I suggest you see someone in a group practice or someone who is willing to take emergency calls 24/7 because I do not do that.
