Depression can affect every part of life—energy, motivation, relationships, and how you see yourself. If you're experiencing persistent low mood, loss of interest, or feelings of hopelessness, therapy can offer a space to work through these experiences with support.
On First Session, you can browse therapists who work with depression, watch their intro videos to get a sense of their approach, and book directly online. Credentials are verified during onboarding. Taking the first step can feel hard, but you don't have to figure this out alone—find a therapist who can help.

What is depression?
Depression is more than feeling sad. It's a persistent low mood that can affect your energy, sleep, appetite, concentration, and how you feel about yourself. Many people experience depression at some point in their lives, and it can range from mild to severe. Professional support can help you understand what you're going through and find ways to feel better.
How can therapy help with depression?
Therapy provides a space to explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be contributing to depression. Many therapists use approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or other evidence-informed methods to help you develop coping strategies and shift unhelpful patterns. Over time, therapy may help you regain a sense of hope and engagement with life. Learn more about how to tell if therapy is working.
What should I expect when working on depression in therapy?
Your therapist will start by understanding your experience—how depression shows up for you, when it started, and what's happening in your life. Sessions may involve exploring your thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns, and building skills to manage difficult moments. Progress often happens gradually, and your therapist will work at a pace that feels right for you.
How do I find a therapist for depression?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who work with depression. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of who they are before booking. Credentials are verified during onboarding, and you can book your first session directly online. Book a free consultation to see if a therapist is the right fit.
Is therapy right for my depression?
Therapy can be helpful whether you're experiencing mild, moderate, or more persistent depression. If low mood is affecting your daily life, relationships, or sense of well-being, speaking with a professional may provide support and clarity. You don't need to wait until things feel unbearable—reaching out early can make a difference.
