I use DBT skills and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during therapy during my sessions. I also have experience with working with victims of any crime for many years.
Greetings! My name is Lenda. I am a bilingual counselor. I have been a counselor for eight years. I chose this career because I personally know someone who struggled with mental health. It is gratifying seeing how my clients have shown progress and achieved a better life throughout my work with them. I have gained experience in working with individuals who struggle with depression and anxiety symptoms on a daily basis. I also have worked with victims of sexual abuse and other crimes. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills in sessions. I continue taking training to better help my clients.
My approach is for clients to identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more constructive ones. Challenge distorted thoughts. Use of interventions between sessions. Objectives are set and measured regularly to monitor client progress. Mindfulness is used in sessions to help clients manage emotions, anxiety, and impulsive decisions.
Sounds like you have gone through a lot, please allow me to help you heal through a gentle and peaceful session. I want you to know that you matter and your feelings are important. Therapy is a safe place to explore your concerns at your own pace.

My go-to approach for treating depression is first and foremost to empathize with the client and then, secondarily, to identify what stressors have been impacting them. My goal is to help the client to develop realistic expectations regarding whatever factors have been causing them to feel depressed. Thirdly, I want to educate the client regarding the nature of depression and how it is eminently treatable and likely to improve over time. I find the best benefit in helping clients to realistically face their stressors, because I have always found that that perspective leads to greater hopefulness and improved outcome.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they are able to report that they have been feeling good about themselves and their life.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with being open to new experiences of all sorts and being physically active.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can identify what issues have been getting you down.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Bensalem, PA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.
Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.
Common signs of depression include:
Thriveworks depression counseling in Bensalem, PA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

Every single day, we run into some sort of obstacle, be it heavy traffic, a broken coffee maker, stress at work, or an argument with a loved one. Sometimes, we’re able to overcome these obstacles: we find an alternate route, grab coffee from a local shop instead, churn out an impressive workload, or talk through the disagreement calmly. But in other circumstances, we aren’t able to overcome the obstacle in front of us. At least not without a little bit of help.

“It is okay to admit that your wounds are still open, that you are still healing. It takes time. It takes time.”

Depression is an obstacle that we often need help overcoming or managing. Why? Because depression makes us feel sad, worthless, and uninterested in the things we used to love. This means that it can be difficult to feel motivated to fix the problem. Not to mention that if we don’t address the problem it can get worse and negatively impact our mental health in more ways than one.
Fortunately, there are people who specialize in helping people with depression. If you feel depressed, reach out to Thriveworks Bensalem in Bucks County. We have depression counselors and psychologists on staff who will impress you with their skills, experience, and caring nature. Once they get to know you and your specific case, they’ll be able to design a treatment plan that will help you live a happy, healthy life again.
Some people don’t recognize their symptoms as signs of depression. For example, someone who feels tired all of the time might attribute their low energy levels to a physical illness. Or, someone who feels uninterested in an activity they used to enjoy might assume they’ve simply grown out of it. In reality, these are two symptoms of depression and they could signify a serious a problem. Here are signs of depression:
If you are experiencing any combination of the above symptoms, you should meet with a mental health professional, as it might signify depression (or another serious mental illness). A counselor at Thriveworks Bensalem can analyze your symptoms, offer diagnosis, and design treatment that will best help you.
There are a few methods of treatment for depression that have proven effects: these include medication, counseling, and self-care. Some people benefit from one form of treatment more than others. For example, one person might require counseling while another might need a combination of counseling and antidepressants. And we all, of course, can benefit from a little self-care. Let’s delve into each:
A combination of the above can often help depressed individuals live happier, healthier lives. In other instances, an individual needs but one form of treatment that proves to give them the boost they need to get better.
If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, it’s important you get the help that you need. Reach out to Thriveworks Bensalem to get set up with a Bucks County counselor who specializes in helping individuals with depression. They can help you manage your symptoms, better understand why you might be depressed, and ultimately live a better life.
If you’re ready to get started, we are too. We want to make a meaningful difference in your life. Give Thriveworks Bensalem a call today. We won’t put you on a waiting list, we’ll get you scheduled right away.
