Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
There are several approaches that can work well, and I use them in combinations depending on the wishes of the client. I often use psychological testing to help clarify the underling issues and better target interventions, including recommending medications most likely to be effective, based on psychological testing results.

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Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.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..."
