What Depression Can Look Like

Depression doesn’t look the same for everyone.

You may notice:

Persistent sadness or low mood
Feeling empty, numb, or disconnected
Losing interest in things you previously enjoyed
Low motivation
Difficulty getting started with everyday responsibilities
Changes in sleeping or eating patterns
Fatigue or low energy
Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Social withdrawal
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Feeling hopeless about the future
Difficulty connecting with friends, family, or your partner
Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities
Feeling as though you’re simply going through the motions

You don’t have to determine whether what you’re experiencing is “bad enough” before reaching out.

How Online Depression Therapy in California Can Help

Depression can make change feel difficult, which is why therapy doesn’t have to begin with enormous changes.

Your therapist can help you understand patterns that may be contributing to how you’re feeling and identify manageable steps toward improving your emotional well-being.

Therapy may focus on understanding your emotions, challenging unhelpful patterns of thinking, strengthening coping skills, improving relationships and boundaries, increasing meaningful activities, processing difficult experiences, and reconnecting with your values and goals.

Treatment is individualized to you rather than based on a one-size-fits-all process.

If you are also experiencing anxiety, explore our online anxiety therapy for support with those concerns.

Our Approach to Depression Therapy

Our therapists use evidence-informed approaches based on each client’s individual needs, circumstances, preferences, and treatment goals.

Some clients benefit from practical strategies they can begin implementing immediately. Others may need space to explore relationships, past experiences, identity, life transitions, grief, or long-standing emotional patterns.

Often, therapy incorporates both.

Your therapist will collaborate with you to determine what would be most helpful.

What to Expect

Your first sessions are an opportunity for your therapist to understand what has been happening and what you would like support with.

You don’t need to know exactly what your goals are before starting.

Together, you and your therapist can identify areas you’d like to change and create realistic treatment goals. As therapy progresses, you’ll continue evaluating what’s helping and what may need to change.
