Coping Skills: a practical “menu” clients can use on hard days

When mood is low, motivation and energy often drop—and helpful actions can feel out of reach. This Coping Skills Menu gives clients a clear, therapist-friendly list of small, concrete options they can choose from when they’re overwhelmed, stuck, or shut down. Use it to reduce decision fatigue, support behavioral follow‑through, and help clients build a personalized coping plan that actually feels doable. The menu can also be used to create “if‑then” plans (e.g., If I notice I’m spiraling, then I’ll pick one option from each section).

Best for

  • Depression-related low motivation and low energy

  • Clients who feel overwhelmed and don’t know what to do next

  • Between-session planning and relapse-prevention toolkits
