There are multiple therapeutic modalities that can help when treating an individual with depression. However, the essential component regardless of the modality is the fit between the therapist and client. If the connection does not feel authentic then it is difficult to mutually partner, establish trust, and create individual goals, both for the client and therapist. Most therapists offer a consult phone call to assess goodness of fit and allow for clients to ask any questions they may have regarding the process of therapy and what treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT, etc.) the therapist offers and has been trained in. Take advantage of these phone calls to assess goodness of fit for your individual needs.

Yes, there are a host of natural treatments to support individuals who are struggling with anxiety. However, the goal should never be to 'rid oneself of all anxiety'. Some anxiety is protective in nature and can also help self-direct people towards goals. A simplistic way to think about how anxiety can be somewhat protective and help people stay on track with goals is the issue of exams. If one has an important exam that they are worried/anxious about, most people find ways to curb this by studying to secure their success on the exam. When anxiety becomes a problem is when it manifests to such a degree that it impacts one's daily functioning. At this point, there are natural, cognitive/behavioral, and pharmaceutical treatments available.
