Manage Your Bipolar with Online Therapy

While it is common for people to experience mood swings from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) their mood shifts from periods of over-excitement and feeling like you're "on fire" (manic episodes) to periods of feeling severely depressed (depressive episodes).

During manic episodes, it's common to have a generally elevated mood, be highly active, experience higher self-esteem and need less sleep. This often alternates with depressive periods where you feel little joy in life, have problems sleeping, gain or lose weight and experience a loss of energy.

While this can be stressful and even debilitating, there is hope. Our therapy for bipolar is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown in research studies to help people with bipolar disorder, often used in conjunction with medication. You see, it is your thoughts that affect your perception of the world, and with bipolar disorder, your brain tends to process information in an inaccurate and distorted way. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to identify and challenge these distorted and negative thought patterns that cause your stress and even harmful behavior. By identifying the situations that trigger your manic and depressive episodes, you will be more aware of when a mood shift is about to happen. And, eventually, you will be able to control your emotions and stress. By discovering new coping and behavioral skills, you will be able to stick to a treatment plan and live a more stable lifestyle, which will reduce the risks of a relapse.

"It's great having all the resources in one place for a complete approach to mental wellbeing, from journaling (with a template to guide what you write about, while still leaving you with a space to leave your own thoughts) to yoga. I appreciate the centralization of this approach vs. "here's some links or apps that you need to keep track of separately"."

"I enjoy the ability to write to my therapist and get replies. This works for me. I write out how I feel, what I am going through. I’m more comfortable this way. Not a big talker. This site gives you options. There are different tools you can use. Pick and choose. Customize to your needs. I find this online therapy actually is helpful."

"I highly recommend my assigned therapist, Stephanie Korchynski.

Her response times are great. She walks the line between keeping our video sessions personable, while maintaining professional boundaries with great skill. Her suggestions will feel slightly generic initially, but once you reflect on which aspects of your situation you wish to prioritize, her feedback is insightful and expertly tailored.

I'm grateful to have finally invested in myself, and to have been gifted with Stephanie's guidance. Having that external impartial lens has been very grounding."

"This is the best online therapy provider I have come across. The course alone that you do alongside therapy is incredible. I am making so much progress in as little as 3 months. My therapist is top notch and price wise, I could never get anything this affordable so I really feel lucky to have access to a service like this. Thank you Online-Therapy"
