Grief Counseling FAQs
HIDDEN - DO NOT DELETE
Can you do grief counseling online?
What kind of therapy is best for grief?
Several types of therapy are effective in helping individuals process grief and learn coping strategies to manage it effectively, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Group Therapy. Each person responds differently to therapeutic treatments and your therapist or counselor will work with you to determine the most supportive option for you. If you’re deciding on options, call us today and we’ll be happy to answer any questions to see what the best fit for you is.
How long does grief counseling usually last?
Grief counseling is very dependent on individual needs and circumstances with an average range of 6-20 sessions for complete symptom remission and processing. Factors that impact how long grief counseling lasts include the severity of the loss, the presence of complicated grief, personal history, and available support systems. The purpose of counseling is to help you process loss, learn coping strategies to manage symptoms, and ensure you have the support you need going forward.
What can I do outside of therapy to manage my grief?
There are several ways you can process grief outside of therapy, through introspection, self-care, and remembrance.
- Introspection: Journaling or mindfulness activities like meditation help you process your emotions neutrally, helping to manage complex emotions and gain insights on your thoughts and feelings.
- Self-Care: Taking care of your physical and emotional needs.
- Remembrance: Creating meaningful rituals help you honor your loved one and process your grief constructively, maintaining a sense of connection and purpose throughout the grieving process.
