Individual therapy session for depression in Baton Rouge with Liz Jones, LCSW

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

That heavy, gray feeling where even the things you used to love feel like chores.
Going through the motions at work, at home — functional, but not really present.
Waking up already exhausted before the day even starts.
Feeling disconnected from people you care about, even when they're right in front of you.
An inner critic that's gotten louder, telling you things won't change or you don't deserve better.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in depression treatment at my Baton Rouge office. You don't have to keep carrying this quietly. Reach out today.

How Therapy Lifts the Weight

Depression is not a character flaw. It's something we can work on together, with an approach grounded in what actually works:

You'll Feel Understood First

Before any strategies, we make space for what you're carrying. Many people with depression have never had that — and it's where real change begins.

Evidence-Based Approaches

We use what the research says actually works for depression — including CBT, behavioral activation, and exploring the patterns that keep you stuck.

Practical and Lasting

We don't just talk about how you feel. We identify the specific things maintaining your depression and work to change them, for good.

Types of Depression We Work On Together

Major Depressive Disorder

Persistent low mood, loss of pleasure, and difficulty functioning that goes beyond the blues and won't lift on its own.

High-Functioning Depression

You're keeping it together on the outside. Inside you're running on fumes, wondering why you can't just feel okay.

Postpartum Depression

The joy that was supposed to come with motherhood feels absent, mixed with guilt, or replaced by something much heavier.

Situational Depression

A specific loss, failure, or life change has knocked the floor out from under you and the ground hasn't come back.

Seasonal Depression (SAD)

Every winter, the same fog rolls in and makes everything harder — motivation, sleep, mood, all of it.

Depression & Anxiety Together

The worry never stops, but neither does the heaviness. They feed each other in a cycle that feels impossible to break alone.

Loss & Grief

A loss that has made the world feel permanently dimmer — and that conventional "stages of grief" advice doesn't touch.

Low Self-Worth

A deep, quiet belief that you're not enough — even when the evidence says otherwise. Therapy can reach what willpower can't.

What to Expect in Depression Therapy

We move at your pace. Here's how the work typically unfolds:

Create a Complete Picture

Depression looks different for everyone. We start by understanding exactly how it shows up for you — mood, energy, physical symptoms, thought patterns, and what's maintaining it.

Active, Structured Work

We use evidence-based strategies to interrupt depressive patterns, rebuild engagement with life, and address the thinking that keeps you feeling stuck.

Sustain the Lift

We build habits and self-awareness that make it harder for depression to regain its hold — long after our work together ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is highly effective for depression, especially moderate depression. For some people, medication is a useful complement. I'm happy to coordinate with a prescriber if needed. We'll work together to figure out what the right approach is for you.

That's exactly the right time to start. You don't need to be in the right headspace. You just need to show up. Momentum builds from there, and I'll meet you exactly where you are — no performance required.

Most clients see meaningful improvement in 12–20 sessions. Severity, history, and contributing factors all play a role. We'll track your progress together and you'll always know where we stand in the process.

You don't need to know. Part of therapy is figuring that out together. Depression often doesn't have one obvious cause — we'll look at the full picture, including biological, situational, and relational factors.

Sessions are $125 and are private pay. Upon request, I can provide a Superbill — an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. A Good Faith Estimate will be provided before services begin, in accordance with the No Surprises Act.
