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.

"Vanessa An (MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), DipCouns) is an amazing counselor! I had to switch counselors ( was an effortless process through this website) and I’m so glad I did and found Vanessa. Had I known that processing the past, validation and reflection would have been so beneficial I would have not hesitated before. The new ground I’ve gained through this website and through Vanessa for my mental and emotional health was worth every penny!"

"I have been very fortunate to find such a supportive and empathetic therapist as Dr Vicki. Her exercises, interaction via chat, email and video are extremely empowering. She puts a lot of emphasis on being there for her patients, which I really loved and am grateful for. She has really helped/guided me to come to my own conclusions whilst helping me to avoid catastrophizing. She really knows how to listen and make you feel heard, but also to recognise where behaviour comes from and the consequences and effects of your actions on yourself and others. She is a very well-read, hard-working and helpful therapist and I would recommend her to anyone who really wants to work on themselves."

"I was a little afraid of beginning online therapy, but I knew I needed to find help. I live in an area of Canada which does not have many services such as this, so I am very grateful to have been matched with my therapist. We've had only two sessions so far, yet I already feel a little more hopeful. Online Therapy.com's support staff are also amazingly helpful. Thank you!"

"I believe the foundling is helping me to overcome rejection and harassment type situations in my family and work place.
I am realizing that through the counseling, I can control how I respond to the negativity that others bring against me."
