Depression Therapy for Teens and Women in St. Petersburg, Austin, & Online

Living with depression can feel like carrying a weight that no one else sees. Everyday tasks become exhausting, motivation feels out of reach, and joy seems distant. At Moonchild Counseling, we understand how isolating depression can be and we’re here to remind you that you don’t have to face it alone. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we help teens and women find relief, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves.

Finding Your Way Through Depression With Support That Lasts

Understanding Depression

Depression isn’t just “feeling sad.” Depression can affect your energy, focus, relationships, and overall sense of self. It often shows up as fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, hopelessness, irritability, or difficulty finding meaning in life. Many clients have described it as feeling stuck or disconnected from the things and people they once loved.

At MoonChild Counseling, we aim to provide a supportive space to explore your struggles, uncover root causes, and develop strategies to move forward with confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To reframe negative thought patterns and restore perspective.
Somatic Experiencing: To address how depression can show up in the body, releasing tension and restoring balance.
EMDR Therapy: For those whose depression is connected to past trauma.
Mindfulness & Stress Management Techniques: To strengthen emotional regulation and bring calm to daily life.

Our goal is to help you not just cope—but heal, grow, and rediscover your sense of purpose.

What If I Fail At Depression Therapy?

It’s common to worry about “not getting better.” The truth is, you can’t fail! Depression Therapy isn’t about being perfect, it’s about showing up and taking small steps toward change. Progress often happens gradually, but each session moves you closer to relief and stability. You can’t fail at therapy, because it’s a journey of learning, healing, and growing at your own pace.
