They will use a variety of techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, problem-solving therapy and mindfulness-based therapy to help you manage and reduce your symptoms. Together, you and your therapist will set goals and work on developing the skills and strategies to help you manage depression and improve your overall well-being.
