Manage Your Bipolar with Online Therapy

Category: Bipolar Online Therapy | Last updated: February 1st, 2022 | Reviewed and approved by:

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 really helped me have clarity in my problems. She helps you find the root cause of the issue and work with that. I dont usually get along with therapists and feel like i finally found someone i can speak freely.
She is very easy and kind to work with - would fully recommend!"

"Great course and a great therapist. You will get the best results by really sticking with it and engaging with the materials. I recommend scheduling time each week to complete the modules and bring up important things to your therapist. My thought patterns are improving and I have acquired tools that I will continue to use. Completely worth the money."

"I think this platform is very helpful for people who are afraid of going in person to therapy, it is their first time trying therapy, or it is hard to work with their current schedule."

"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 have a great therapist and I'm very happy that I was able to be matched up with her. It's so easy for me to hop on a video call as opposed to going to a nearby office where there may or may not be a therapist that I like."
