Depression therapy: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering depression therapy
Clients arrive when energy is low and decisions feel heavy. Make it easy to say yes: clear logistics, gentle language and your license up front.

- Do you do video sessions?
- Do you work with my doctor?
- How often will we meet?

- Offer video options for low energy days.
- State your license and training.
- Explain your safety plan steps in plain words.
- Put fees and cancellation policies in writing.
- Use warm, plain language and avoid promising relief.
What to put on your profile
- License type and state

Licenses and permits
Therapy and counseling are licensed professions. Hold the license your state board requires for the services you list, keep it current, and check the board's rules on telehealth and on practicing across state lines.
Questions
How do I describe my work?
Describe what you offer and who you work with, not what it fixes.
