How do you work with clients with depression?

Licensed Social Worker

I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I have two brothers and a mother. My childhood was very normal until my late teens when my father passed away from cancer. Not surprisingly, this whole process was sudden and challenging in many ways for myself and the rest of the family. My situation could have gone very differently; however I was fortunate to get linked with a therapist who took the time to challenge my thinking. Luckily, I was able to get into college and pursue my passion of social work. My approach: Three words that describe my approach are: problem solving, non-judging, and patient. I think therapy can be fun and interesting. My overarching goal with therapy is build a mutual relationship that serves the client. I feel clients have the ability to solve their problems; however, us as people sometimes need someone from outside our situation to bounce ideas off of. My clinical strengths: I have extensive experience working with anxiety, panic and substance use. I know first hand how crippling anxiety and panic attacks can be, I really enjoy tying to help others gain confidence and learn to cope with these conditions. After applying for my Independent license I started working for Veteran Affairs on a homeless/ substance use residential unit. There I taught substance use groups, individual psychotherapy and attended many trainings to widen my skill set. During COVID, this unit was reworked and resulted in me taking a job outside the unit. I now assist local hospitals with our clients and their discharge needs. This obviously is a slight departure from my normal skills and is part of the reason I work in private practice as well.
