Frequently Asked Questions About Depression Counseling

  • Sessions are collaborative and gentle. We start by understanding your experience, then work together on tools like behavioral activation, cognitive reframing, or exploring life patterns. The pace is yours; the focus is on real, sustainable relief.

  • Depression counseling is one of the most effective treatments with research showing that 60–80% of people see meaningful improvement with therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or mindfulness techniques (per APA and recent 2025–2026 studies). Prioritizing early support can often accelerate progress and help aid in building lasting skills.

  • Absolutely! Secure video sessions can provide the same depth and connection as in-person, with the ease of joining from home. We use HIPAA-compliant platforms and follow state regulations. It's a great option for North County residents with demanding schedules or those looking for help with depression statewide in California.

  • The number of sessions will depend on your needs. Some may feel shifts in 8 to 16 sessions, with some continuing longer for deeper work. Remember we are all unique in our history, issues and other factors that will change how long sessions will need to be for. We regularly assess your progress and adapt, always prioritizing your goals and well-being.

  • If sadness, low energy, or disconnection persists despite self-care efforts, or affects work, relationships, or daily functioning, therapy can offer relief and perspective. A free consult is a simple, low-pressure way to explore support for your unique situation and get your foot in the door.
