Therapy for Burnout & Depression in Greenville, SC
Online therapy for women who are exhausted from holding it all together
If you’re exhausted in a way sleep doesn’t touch, you’re not alone, and you’re not failing.
Therapy for burnout and depression in Greenville, SC supports women who feel worn down, foggy, irritable, or shut off after years of being The Strong One.
This is online therapy for when you’re still functioning, but it’s costing you something.
When everything feels heavy, effortful, or strangely empty, and you don’t know how to explain why.
What Burnout and Depression Can Feel Like
You’re on the couch. Half watching British Bake Off. Half scrolling TikTok.
Fully gone.
Laundry is everywhere. There’s a second glass of red nearby. You tell yourself you’ll fold things after this episode. Or the next. Or tomorrow.
Sleep doesn’t come easily, so mornings arrive too fast.
Beep Beep. Snooze.
Beep Beep. Snooze.
There’s barely time to get out the door. No time for Starbucks.
But you stop anyway, because you need something to get through the day.
You’re doing all the things you’re supposed to do.
And somehow, it still feels like too much.
Why Burnout and Depression Aren’t Problems You Can “Fix”
If this has been your life for a while, it makes sense that you’d want a solution. Something concrete and efficient.
You might tell yourself:
Maybe I just need better systems.
More motivation.
A reset. A week off. A stronger push.
But burnout and depression aren’t problems you can out-discipline.
What you’re experiencing is what happens when a nervous system has been under pressure for too long. When Rest never quite restores you, and Effort keeps asking for more than you have to give.
This isn’t weakness.
It’s wear and tear.
Online Therapy for Burnout & Depression with Emilea Richardson
There’s a place your body knows how to live, where you feel more like yourself. Not energized all the time. Just… steady. Present. Able to breathe.
You haven’t been there in a long while.
Instead, you’ve been living above that range. Pushing through days, weeks, maybe years until your system started finding ways to slow you down:
Sudden exhaustion.
Shutdown days.
Brain fog.
A body that says “no” even when your mind says “we can’t stop.”
This is why the usual fixes haven’t helped. You don’t need more gas. You need repair.
Therapy for burnout and depression helps your nervous system feel safe enough to come back online gently, gradually, and without forcing.
Not a jumpstart.
A careful re-entry.
What Actually Helps: Online Therapy That Works With Your Nervous System
Here’s what therapy with Emilea Richardson, a burnout specialist in Greenville, SC, actually looks like:
1. We map your nervous system
Not a generic diagram. A unique map that we continue to add to session after session. We identify where overwhelm, freeze, irritability, and numbness live in your body. We also find what feels warm and safety to strategize on how to expand those.
2. You practice tools in session
At a speed that works best for you, we build your tool box. Not hypothetical skills.
You experience real relief during sessions, so your body learns safety, not just the concept of it. By paying attention to what your body is doing now, we can help settle it.
3. We recalibrate your baseline
You learn what your overwhelm feels like before it tips into collapse, and how to respond with care instead of pressure.
Over time, we work to resolve experiences and expectations that taught you to push past your limits so this doesn’t keep happening.
Clients say after somatic therapy for burn out they feel:
- More emotionally steady
