Alexander Marshi uses evidence-based approaches including CBT and solution-focused therapy to help clients understand their depression, interrupt the cycles that maintain it, and build sustainable momentum toward a life that feels worth living again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can telehealth therapy help with depression?
Yes. Multiple studies confirm that CBT delivered via telehealth is equally effective to in-person therapy for depression. The convenience can actually make it easier to maintain consistent attendance, which matters for outcomes.
How long does depression therapy take?
Many clients begin feeling meaningfully better within 6-12 sessions with consistent practice. Severe or long-term depression may take longer, but progress is typically noticeable within the first few weeks.
Do you work with depression and addiction together?
Yes. Co-occurring depression and addiction (dual diagnosis) is very common and actually benefits from an integrated approach — treating both simultaneously rather than sequentially.
