Evidence-Based Depression Therapy in Pittsburgh 

 

 

If you’re searching for depression therapy in Pittsburgh, you may feel exhausted, unmotivated, or disconnected from the life you want to be living. Depression can make even simple daily responsibilities feel overwhelming.

 

At Lindquist Psychological, we provide specialized, evidence-based depression treatment in Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania via secure telehealth. Our approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported psychotherapy.

 

 

What Depression Often Feels Like

 

 

Depression is one of the most personal mental health challenges. No two people experience it exactly the same way. Many of our Pittsburgh clients describe:

 

• Persistent sadness or emptiness

• Loss of interest or pleasure

• Low energy or fatigue

• Difficulty concentrating

• Changes in sleep or appetite

• Feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or worthlessness

• Irritability or emotional numbness

 

 

For some individuals, depression develops gradually. For others, it can feel sudden or tied to a specific life event. Regardless of how it begins, effective depression therapy in Pittsburgh can help you regain stability and direction.

 

​

Types of Depression We Treat in Pittsburgh

 

 

We provide therapy for:

 

• Major Depressive Disorder

• Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)

• Depression related to anxiety or trauma

Many individuals experience overlapping symptoms of anxiety and depression. We take an individualized approach rather than forcing your experience into a single category.

Evidence-Based Depression Treatment in Pittsburgh

 

 

Our depression therapy is grounded in approaches supported by decades of clinical research:

 

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps identify and restructure negative thinking patterns that contribute to low mood and hopelessness. It provides practical tools to change behavior and build momentum.

 

 

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): IPT focuses on improving relationship patterns and addressing life transitions that may contribute to depression.

 

 

Psychodynamic Therapy: Psychodynamic therapy explores underlying patterns, early experiences, and unconscious dynamics that may be contributing to persistent depressive symptoms.

 

In many cases, we use an integrative approach — combining structured techniques with deeper insight-oriented work — to address both symptoms and root causes.

Depression Therapy for Professionals in Pittsburgh

 

 

Many of our clients are high-functioning professionals in Pittsburgh’s medical, legal, corporate, and academic communities. Outward success does not protect against depression.

 

You may appear productive and capable while privately struggling with:

 

• Burnout

• Emotional numbness

• Chronic self-criticism

• Loss of meaning

• Work-related exhaustion

 

 

We provide structured, goal-oriented depression treatment in Pittsburgh that supports professional functioning while addressing internal distress.
