Depression Therapy
Helping You Navigate Depression with Clarity and Care
Compassionate Support to Help You Feel Like Yourself Again
Depression can affect every area of your life — your energy, relationships, self-worth and even your ability to get through the day. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or emotionally overwhelmed, you are not alone. Depression is one of the most common mental health concerns, but with the right support, it is also highly treatable.
At JLE Psychological Services, Dr. Jessica Elliott provides evidence-based depression therapy in New Jersey for adults, teens, and families. Whether you’ve been experiencing persistent sadness, low energy, or difficulty finding joy in your life, therapy can help you uncover the root of your pain and guide you toward hope and healing.
What is Depression Therapy?
Therapy for depression is a collaborative process where you explore emotional struggles in a safe and supportive environment. It’s not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you understand your symptoms, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and learn coping strategies that support long-term wellness.
Dr. Elliott offers therapy for:
Major Depressive Disorder
Persistent depressive symptoms
Postpartum depression
Depression related to trauma or loss
Teen or adolescent depression
Co-occurring anxiety and depression
Low self-esteem or hopelessness
What Depression can look like?
Depression doesn’t always look like deep sadness. You may be experiencing:
Ongoing fatigue or low energy
Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
Feeling numb, irritable, or emotionally flat
Negative self-talk or hopelessness
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
Withdrawing from people or daily routines
Thoughts of worthlessness or self-blame
You don’t need to hit a “breaking point” to seek therapy. Reaching out early can make a meaningful difference in your ability to recover and regain balance.
How Dr. Elliott Approaches Depression Therapy
Dr. Elliott takes a warm, person-centered approach to working with clients facing depression. Her style is nonjudgmental, supportive, and grounded in clinical expertise. She tailors each session to your needs, using evidence-based methods such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns
Mindfulness and grounding techniques to reduce emotional distress
Psychodynamic therapy to explore the roots of internal conflict
Humanistic therapy to rebuild a sense of purpose and self-worth
She also integrates her trauma-informed training when depression is linked to unresolved pain from the past.
