The Role of Counseling in Dealing with Anxiety and Depression

April 3, 2023 by Julia Dunn

Whether you think you may be dealing with anxiety and depression or already have a formal diagnosis, it’s essential to understand the role of counseling in your healing and growth process. Unfortunately, there has historically been a lot of shame and guilt surrounding these issues that have prevented people from reaching out for the help they need. Seeking professional help is the first and most crucial step to start feeling like yourself again—and even better.

The Problem of Anxiety and Depression in the U.S.

The statistics from the National Institute of Mental Health are staggering. In the United States, nearly 25 percent of adults struggle with anxiety, depression, or some form of both. Even more surprisingly, more than half of those suffering from anxiety and depression aren’t getting professional help.

However, as someone living with anxiety and depression day in and day out, the statistics likely mean very little to you. Perhaps you are seeking more information about counseling to determine if it’s even worth it for you to put forth the effort.

Here’s the answer: it is so worth it!

How Counseling Can Help While Dealing with Anxiety and Depression

The right counseling services can make all the difference in your journey to conquer depression and/or anxiety. Having professional support and guidance will help you to create a game plan.  This plan will help you take a proactive approach rather than just sitting back and letting negative emotions take over your life.

The benefits of counseling include the following:

  • A place to share your struggles and challenges and have someone actively listen to you and offer feedback
  • The tools you need to achieve a mindset shift and to make necessary changes in your life
  • Support and guidance to help you learn the steps you can take to find relief from symptoms that are holding you back
  • Help to improve communication and decision-making, enhance self-esteem and achieve better management of your emotions
  • The practice necessary to develop a positive mindset and healthy coping skills that can transform your life and your relationships
