While it is common for people to experience mood changes from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression), their mood shifts between periods of elevated or highly energized mood (manic or hypomanic episodes) and periods of depression.

During manic episodes, a person may feel unusually energetic, confident, and active, often needing less sleep. These periods can alternate with depressive phases that involve low mood, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, but many people learn ways to better understand and manage mood changes and build stability over time. Our online therapy program uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles to help people better understand their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. CBT is often used as a supportive approach alongside medical care. With guidance from a therapist, you can learn to recognize early warning signs of mood changes, develop healthier coping strategies, and build routines that support emotional stability. By increasing awareness of potential triggers and learning practical skills, many people find it easier to manage stress and maintain a more balanced daily life.

People experiencing symptoms of bipolar disorder should consult qualified healthcare professionals for proper evaluation and care.

"Beth Lakes is an amazing person and therapist. I feel completely comfortable confiding with her due to the warm and grounded energy she brings to every session. I've been seeing her for about a year now and she has made a tangible difference to my mental health. She has helped me grow and navigate through some very tumultuous times. I can't recommend her enough."

"I have struggled with maintaining therapists because of my employment status. Finding an option that considers my income and prevents me from having to find new providers every time I move has been incredible.

I was fortunate to find a therapist I connected with after just one meeting, but I also realized that changing therapists is not a complicated process. Sometimes you don't click with someone, and it can be challenging to continue searching. Knowing that trasition is simple gives me the confidence to keep investing in my mental health and wellbeing.

I have always had difficulty journaling (my rational brain knows its value but the emotional brain feels stumped), but this platform's format of questions has made it much easier to feel the emotional benefits.

Thank you online-therapy.com"

"This is my third week at Online Therapy. The therapy work is intense, and I feel really tired on an emotional level, but I am so incredibly grateful for this opportunity.
I have an amazing therapist who is very capable of guiding and supporting me through this healing process. Although I know there is still a long road ahead of me, I am already noticing improvements that make a huge difference for me and feel deeply meaningful. I feel truly grateful that I was able to start therapy now, while my child is still young and can benefit from having a mother who is calmer, more relaxed, and more in control of herself — and therefore much better able to co-regulate a little one.
If anyone reading this is wondering whether they should do it: do it. You are worth it. It can change you, change your perspective, give you valuable tools, and help strengthen and rebuild you from within — if you are willing to truly engage with the process."

"I really appreciate how easy it is to not only find a therapist that fits my needs but the ease in switching if it's not the right fit. I also appreciate the affordability options, the convenient scheduling, and good quality audio/video on calls. I have used the platform for almost a year now and have recommended it to all of my friends."
