Fairfax, Virginia therapist: Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D., psychologist
Depression

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with depression, you may feel weighed down by a constant sense of heaviness, low motivation, or a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy. Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and you may find yourself stuck in patterns of negative thinking, self-doubt, or emotional numbness. From the outside, it might look like you’re functioning—but inside, it can feel like you’re just getting through the day. I help clients understand and change the patterns that keep depression in place—both mentally and emotionally. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to identify and shift the negative thought cycles that reinforce feelings of hopelessness or discouragement. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we address the deeper emotional patterns and help re-engage your mind and body in a more responsive, energized way. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you take meaningful action, reconnect with what matters to you, and begin moving forward—even when motivation is low. What’s often missing isn’t effort—you may already be trying to “push through” or think more positively. What’s missing is a structured way to shift the underlying patterns that keep pulling you back into the same emotional state. Without that, depression can continue to feel stuck, regardless of how much you try to change it on your own. The fact that you’re reading this suggests a part of you is still looking for something different. If you’re willing to take that next step, I can help you begin to feel more like yourself again—more engaged, more hopeful, and more in control of your direction.

Richmond, Virginia therapist: Carrie Jones, LPC, licensed professional counselor
Depression

Carrie Jones, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor, LifeVision Counseling, LLC
Depression is extremely common. It includes having a persistent feeling of sadness or loss of pleasure for a period of time. Depression can affect everyone differently. Symptoms can include feeling sad, empty, or hopeless. It can lead to loss of interest in usual activities, changes in sleep and appetite, difficulty concentrating, and fixation on the past. Sometimes, depression is related to a particular circumstance, your perception of the world around you, or being afraid to choose to live the most authentic version of yourself. Fortunately, therapy can provide a safe and supportive place for you to identify underlying causes, gain insight to patterns of thoughts and feelings, challenge negative perceptions, develop tools for recovery, choose a new path, and empower you to take charge of your mental well-being.
