Hi,
As a social worker I have a few comments.(And as a depressed person too.) First, I would try to seek out a counsellor who does more what is called "Reality Therapy". No 'workbooks', or hundred page lists. It deals with the 'here and now', without being as patronizing as CBT. You will feel a very strong attachment with a good therapist.
Best,
Jay

She's in it for the money
