Meds can help but matching the "right" med to the "right" person is often a matter of trial and error - it can take some time.
I really like the ideas from your psychologist about relaxation and breathing exercises - they (which my psychologist taught me) have helped me a lot.
Other options (I don't know if your psychologist uses them with her clients) are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - my psychologist has used both of these with me which I have found helpful.

As she says trial and error will take time
Did she tell you that by the time it is seen the
antidepressants is not working then the weaning process
IS something you SHOULD know about
WITHDRAWAL
And for some people could cause a domino effect
of trial and error gone bad
When lyrica came out fairly new
Was not listed in a category yet
I would tell doctor Krish
I have a feeling of high
I put on it for neurological problems
And had severe allergic reactions to
where as my eldest is put on it for her epilepsy
I do not tell you this to discourage in any way
As I know how it feels
Do log everything as you start them
I pray
So pray
YOUR depression is lifted
I had a friend over yesterday and we had
Morning drinks on the veranda
I was in such good spirits and I
could feel the goodness
That gut feel of doom coming to visit
And all my will could NOT get it to go
Your depression whatever kind
Robs US FROM A QUALITY OF LIFE
I this person did not want surgery
I HAD NO CHOICE ACCORDING TO DOCTORS
I even wonder about that
Isn't that sad
Yet I do not FEEL sad
My a smile on you face come from you gut
May it be the kind of smile that lingers on and on
for the thought that made you smile
NOBODY can take that from you
I feel you pain and sadness
Be well friend
Love
Me
