Online Counseling for Women with Depression in Louisiana, Florida, Hawaii, & Colorado
Sometimes, you look at old pictures on your computer or your phone that remind you of a time when you felt happy. This was a time when you felt joyful and content more often than not. Life was busy then, but not completely overwhelming. Now, instead of feeling like that happy person in those pictures, you find yourself feeling empty, hopeless and sad.
Depression hurts and negatively impacts your mood and your life
Maybe, you have experienced times of depression before. Especially, right before your period. You would only feel this way for a few days, and then you would feel normal again. But lately, it seems like a dark cloud is looming over you, and it just won’t go away.
Sometimes, you find yourself feeling anxious and on edge with everyone around you. And you’re so exhausted that some days it takes everything you have just to get out of bed. The things that used to bring you happiness, like spending time with your kids, your spouse or your friends, simply don’t interest you like they once did. You feel like you’re drowning in a sea of emptiness and you don’t know how to save yourself.
Depression can feel scary and all-consuming. It has a way of hijacking your life and leading you further away from the dreams you have for yourself and your family. But you don’t have to suffer with depression alone. Talking with a therapist can help you get back to living a life that brings you joy.
Online Depression Treatment can help You find Relief from the Symptoms of Depression
Working together, I help clients process life situations that may be causing their depression. This could include the loss of a loved one, a major life change, being a military spouse, or a traumatic experience. This may also include the hormonal changes and stress that accompany motherhood and postpartum mood disorders. Then, we will find strategies to cope with them in a healthy way. I want to help you find relief from symptoms such as feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and irritability. In therapy, you will learn tools to use at home or at work to help you when you experiencing stressors that cause you to feel depressed. Ultimately, my hope is that during online therapy you will feel safe enough to openly explore your thoughts and feelings in an environment that is free from judgment and shame. I know that everyone processes their feelings differently, so we will work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
I Help Depressed Women Feel Joyful Again
Every women I help during online therapy is unique. Therefore my treatment approach is tailored to meet their unique needs. To help support you on your journey toward emotional wellness, I use a combination of evidence-based therapies including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a short-term therapy that aims to challenge and change negative thoughts that cause anxiety. Then you will learn positive coping techniques to use in times of stress.
Mindfulness: the practice of being in the present moment through guided meditation and relaxation techniques that you can use when you feel anxious.
Narrative Therapy: a method of therapy that helps you separate yourself from your problems through storytelling. Then, you learn how to use the skills you already have to cope with your issues and re-write your story.
Trauma Therapy/ Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT): techniques developed to help you cope with trauma.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)/Tapping: EFT involves tapping fingertips on meridian points to help relieve physical and emotional pain and worry.
