DepressionBy Dr. Jessie R. Crymes
Depression affects people from all walks of life, leaving them feeling hopeless, unmotivated, and withdrawn. Counselors provide a safe space for clients to share their struggles and address the root causes of their depressive feelings. Through evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), clients learn to challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier perspectives. Additionally, therapists encourage the adoption of self-care practices and social support systems to enhance well-being. By working collaboratively, counselors empower clients to find light in the darkness and build a life imbued with purpose and hope.
