Different counselors use different
methods for talk therapy. All types of therapy aim to help change how you think about
your problems.
Most therapy for depression is done one-on-one. But it can be done in
a group. You and your healthcare provider can discuss the type of therapy you think
would work best for you. Your provider can also help you find a good counselor.
Look at the experience and
qualifications of a counselor. Ask about their license or certification. This will
show
what type of counseling they can give you. It shows what problems they can address.
A
counselor for children may not be trained to work with an adult who has depression.
