All counseling involves change...even with depression. In order for change to occur, the first important change is one's thinking/thought process. Depression might be due to a mood disorder, some are prescribed medication; however, medication alone will not fix the depression...counseling is necessary to learn coping skills in combination with physician prescribed medication. Medication alone will not raise self-esteem, or change negative thoughts to positive thoughts. I incorporate cognitive behavioral techniques as tools for patients to use for a life time. Depression can occur with life transitions as well.
Transitions may feel like depression. Crossing from a familiar position in life to an unfamiliar position in life (goals, relationship, career/job, parenting, etc.), requires some planning about what one is crossing over or transitioning through. Being able to visualize,to see the outcome you want to take place (setting goals) and concretely describe the steps along the way is very important when crossing a life transition.
