Finding connection, understanding yourself, and making space for change.
Sometimes depression doesn’t look the way we expect it to.
You may still be showing up for work, caring for your family, and managing everyday responsibilities, while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unlike yourself.
Perhaps the things that once brought you joy no longer feel meaningful. You find yourself withdrawing from relationships, questioning your worth, or struggling to find the motivation to do things that used to come naturally.
Or maybe you can’t quite explain what’s wrong. You just know that something feels different.
At Sisu Therapy in Keller, TX, I provide depression therapy for adults ages 18 and up who are navigating persistent sadness, emotional disconnection, low self-worth, and the challenges of feeling stuck.
My approach combines practical, evidence-based strategies with deeper exploration of the experiences, relationships, and patterns that may be contributing to how you feel.
You don’t have to know exactly why you’re struggling to begin understanding yourself differently.
Everyone experiences periods of sadness, discouragement, or emotional exhaustion. Depression, however, can become more persistent, affecting your energy, motivation, relationships, and sense of self.
For some people, depression feels like a heaviness that follows them throughout the day. For others, it’s less about sadness and more about feeling emotionally numb, disconnected, or unable to experience joy.
And sometimes, depression exists quietly beneath a life that appears perfectly functional from the outside.
Depression can affect anyone, regardless of how capable, successful, or put-together they appear.
Therapy offers a space to explore these experiences without judgment or pressure to feel better before you’re ready.
Depression isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. As a depression therapist in Keller, TX, I work with adults whose experiences and circumstances may look very different.
Sometimes depression feels like a heaviness that never fully lifts.
You may feel discouraged about the future, disconnected from things that once mattered, or uncertain whether life will ever feel different.
Therapy provides space to explore these feelings while gradually rebuilding a sense of possibility, connection, and meaning.
Not everyone experiencing depression feels intensely sad.
For some, depression shows up as emotional flatness, difficulty experiencing pleasure, or a sense of moving through life on autopilot.
You may know what you want or need to do, yet struggle to find the energy or motivation to begin.
Together, we can explore what’s contributing to that disconnection while identifying manageable ways to reengage with your life.
You may be someone others depend on.
You meet deadlines, manage responsibilities, care for your family, and appear to have everything under control.
But internally, you may feel exhausted, unfulfilled, or emotionally disconnected.
When you’re accustomed to being capable and self-reliant, it can be difficult to acknowledge your own struggles or allow yourself to need support.
Therapy can offer a place to explore what it’s like to step outside those expectations and begin recognizing your own emotional needs.
Depression and anxiety frequently overlap, and chronic stress or burnout can contribute to emotional exhaustion and low mood.
You may feel caught between constantly pushing yourself and having very little energy left to give.
Our work may involve exploring perfectionism, self-imposed expectations, difficulty setting boundaries, or patterns of prioritizing others while neglecting your own needs.

Significant changes can challenge our sense of identity, purpose, and stability.
The loss of a relationship, career changes, a move, or the death of someone you love can leave you feeling unsettled, even when the change was expected or chosen.
Therapy offers space to process what has been lost, make sense of what is changing, and gradually reconnect with a sense of direction and meaning.
Therapy isn’t about forcing positivity or convincing yourself that everything is fine.
It’s about creating space to understand what you’re experiencing, what may be contributing to it, and what meaningful change might look like for you.
I believe effective depression therapy involves both practical support for present-day symptoms and an opportunity to explore the deeper emotional patterns that influence how we experience ourselves and our relationships.
My approach is collaborative, relational, and tailored to your individual needs.
Depending on your goals, our work may incorporate:
Depression can influence how we interpret ourselves, our experiences, and the future.
You may notice patterns of harsh self-criticism, hopelessness, all-or-nothing thinking, or assuming the worst about yourself.
CBT helps us recognize these patterns, evaluate how they influence your emotions and behavior, and develop more balanced and flexible ways of responding.
We may also use behavioral activation strategies to gradually reconnect with meaningful activities, relationships, and routines.
Sometimes depression is connected to emotional patterns that have developed over time.
You may struggle with persistent feelings of inadequacy, difficulty recognizing your needs, or beliefs about yourself that seem to persist despite your accomplishments.
Psychodynamic therapy helps us explore the experiences, emotions, and patterns that may be influencing your current struggles.
Developing insight into these connections can create opportunities to respond to yourself differently.
Our relationships play an important role in how we understand ourselves and experience emotional connection.
For some adults, depression is intertwined with experiences of emotional disconnection, relational loss, difficulty trusting others, or long-standing beliefs about their own worth.
Attachment-focused therapy offers space to explore these experiences and strengthen your capacity for connection, emotional expression, and healthier relationships.
The therapeutic relationship itself can provide an important experience of being heard, understood, and accepted.
Depression can make it difficult to engage in the life you want to live, particularly when motivation is low or painful thoughts feel overwhelming.
ACT helps develop psychological flexibility by changing how we relate to difficult thoughts and emotions while reconnecting with personal values.
Rather than waiting to feel completely better before moving forward, we explore meaningful steps you can take alongside difficult feelings.
For some clients, depression may be connected to grief, painful experiences, or emotions that feel difficult to access or express.
Brainspotting is a brain-body-oriented approach that uses focused eye positions and awareness of internal experiences to support emotional processing.
I may incorporate Brainspotting when clinically appropriate and aligned with your preferences and treatment goals.
Depression can make it difficult to recognize what you’re feeling or what you need.
Mindfulness-based strategies can help strengthen emotional awareness, reduce automatic reactions, and support a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Together, we can explore ways to become more present, recognize your needs, and respond to difficult emotions with greater flexibility.
Reducing symptoms is an important part of depression treatment.
But for many adults, therapy also becomes an opportunity to explore questions that extend beyond mood.
Sometimes these questions lead us to explore long-standing beliefs, relationship patterns, unmet emotional needs, or expectations you’ve carried for years.
Other times, the work focuses on rebuilding routines, strengthening support systems, and reconnecting with activities that bring meaning and satisfaction.
There isn’t one path through depression.
The goal isn’t to become a different person. It’s to help you feel more connected to yourself and develop greater freedom in how you experience your life.
I offer in-person depression counseling in Keller, TX, as well as secure online therapy for adults throughout Texas.
Depression can make it difficult to reach out, leave home, or feel connected to others.
For some clients, having a consistent time and place devoted entirely to themselves provides a meaningful opportunity to step away from daily responsibilities and experience supportive human connection.
Others appreciate the accessibility and flexibility of telehealth, particularly when energy and motivation are limited.
Both options can support meaningful therapeutic work, and we’ll consider your needs and preferences when determining the best fit.
My Keller therapy office welcomes adults from surrounding communities, including Southlake, Colleyville, Roanoke, North Richland Hills, and the greater Fort Worth area.

I’m Karman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor and the founder of Sisu Therapy.
My background includes more than a decade of experience in crisis counseling, school-based mental health, child welfare, and private practice.
Throughout my work, I’ve seen how depression can affect people in very different ways, including those who appear capable, successful, and highly functioning while privately struggling with exhaustion, self-doubt, or emotional disconnection.
My approach integrates evidence-based interventions such as CBT and ACT with psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and relational perspectives.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine relationship grounded in trust, curiosity, and compassion.
You won’t be expected to have everything figured out, explain your feelings perfectly, or arrive with a clear plan.
My role is to meet you where you are, help you better understand your experiences, and work alongside you toward changes that feel meaningful in your life.
Starting therapy can feel like one more thing to manage, especially when your energy is already limited.
My goal is to make the process approachable, collaborative, and responsive to your needs.
We’ll briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, answer initial questions, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
Our first session focuses on getting to know you, understanding how depression is affecting your life, and identifying what you hope might feel different.
There’s no expectation that you’ll arrive with the right words or a clear understanding of what’s happening.
Sessions typically take place weekly or every other week, depending on your needs and treatment goals.
Our work may include practical strategies for managing symptoms, exploring emotional patterns, strengthening relationships, or reconnecting with your sense of self.
We’ll regularly revisit your progress and adjust our approach as your needs evolve.
When you’re experiencing depression, it can be difficult to imagine that things could feel different.
You may have spent a long time pushing through, meeting expectations, or convincing yourself that you should be able to manage everything on your own.
But you don’t have to understand everything you’re feeling before asking for support.
At Sisu Therapy, I believe meaningful change begins with connection, curiosity, and the opportunity to experience yourself with greater compassion.
If you’re ready to explore what may be contributing to your depression and begin finding a way forward, I’d welcome the opportunity to work together.

Everyone experiences sadness, discouragement, and periods of low motivation.
Depression typically involves symptoms that persist for at least two weeks and affect your mood, energy, motivation, relationships, or ability to function.
However, you don’t need a formal depression diagnosis to seek therapy. If you’re struggling emotionally or feeling disconnected from yourself, support may be helpful.
Yes. Some adults continue meeting responsibilities, caring for others, and maintaining busy schedules while privately experiencing significant depressive symptoms.
Although “high-functioning depression” isn’t a formal diagnosis, it’s a term sometimes used to describe this experience.
Therapy offers space to explore what you’re experiencing beneath the surface, even when others may not recognize that you’re struggling.
Depression doesn’t always involve obvious sadness.
For some people, it shows up as emotional numbness, difficulty experiencing pleasure, low motivation, or feeling disconnected from others.
Therapy can help explore these experiences, identify contributing factors, and develop strategies for gradually reconnecting with meaningful activities and relationships.
Low energy and motivation are common symptoms of depression, and you don’t need to feel motivated or emotionally prepared before beginning therapy.
We’ll work collaboratively to establish realistic goals and adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs.
Even small steps can be meaningful parts of the therapeutic process.
Yes. Depression can overlap with anxiety, traumatic experiences, chronic stress, grief, and relationship difficulties.
For some adults, earlier experiences or attachment patterns may contribute to persistent beliefs about self-worth, emotional needs, or relationships.
Therapy can help us explore these possible connections without assuming that every experience of depression has the same cause.
Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for many forms of depression.
Some people benefit from therapy alone, while others may benefit from a combination of psychotherapy and medication, particularly when symptoms are more severe.
I don’t prescribe medication, but we can discuss whether a consultation with a physician or psychiatrist may be appropriate and coordinate care with your permission.
The length of therapy varies depending on your symptoms, personal history, treatment goals, and response to treatment.
Some adults benefit from shorter-term, structured therapy, while others choose longer-term work to address persistent emotional or relational patterns.
We’ll regularly assess how therapy is helping and make adjustments together.
Both in-person and telehealth psychotherapy can be effective for depression.
Some people value the consistency and connection of meeting in a private office, while others appreciate the convenience and accessibility of online sessions.
I offer both in-person depression therapy in Keller and online therapy throughout Texas. We’ll discuss which format best meets your needs.
