Having a hopeless or helpless outlook on your life is the most common symptom of depression. Other feelings may be worthlessness, self-hate, or inappropriate guilt. Common, recurring thoughts of depression may be vocalized as, “It's all my fault,” or “What's the point?”

Maryellen Newman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Treating depression in therapy involves a holistic and empathic approach aimed at understanding, addressing, and alleviating symptoms. Clinicians often utilize evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and reframe negative thought patterns associated with depression. Exploring the root causes and triggers, clinicians work collaboratively with clients to develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills. Additionally, psychoeducation is crucial to enhance awareness of the nature of depression, its symptoms, its patterns, and the available treatment options. Therapeutic interventions may include identifying and challenging self-defeating beliefs, fostering a supportive therapeutic alliance, and gradually reintroducing meaningful activities. By focusing on building resilience, self-compassion, and a sense of purpose, therapy for depression aims to empower individuals to navigate their emotional landscape, cultivate positive behavioral changes, and regain a sense of hope and fulfillment.
