Online Therapy for Depression

Category: Depression Online Therapy | Last updated: March 11th, 2026 | Medically reviewed by:

Do you have feelings of sadness and hopelessness, problems sleeping or are you experiencing a loss of energy and interest in daily activities? Feeling sad or having mood swings are just normal reactions to the ups and downs of life that everybody experiences. But if emptiness, worthlessness and helplessness have taken hold of your life and will not go away, you may be suffering from depression.

Most often, depression interferes with one's daily life and causes distress for both you and those who care about you. It makes it tough to function and enjoy your day-to-day life. You can no longer work, study, eat, sleep and enjoy life like you once did. Some even experience depression that is like living in "a black hole".

Our therapy for depression is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It's your automatic dysfunctional thinking that perpetuates your depression. It keeps you in a downwards spiral of negative thoughts about yourself and the world around you. With the guidance of our online therapy program for depression and your therapist, you will learn that these negative thoughts are not reality. Rather, they are dysfunctional beliefs about your self and your life, and are something that can be replaced with more realistic and healthier ways of thinking. Using CBT you will learn coping strategies, so that you eventually will be able to face previously feared situations without getting anxious or feeling depressed. The focus of the therapy is not on the past and what caused your depression symptoms. Your therapist will work on making you feel better about yourself, here and now - and in the future.

"My session with Marina was excellent.
She knows the best way for me to succeed in attaining my goals and we have discussed practical methods to achieve them. To be more specific, I want to be able to plan my classes for this school year which starts this October.
I usually wait until the night before. Obviously, I could enjoy what I am doing and have a better program for my students if I started earlier.
At our next meeting I will show her what I have done with the modalities we have discussed in class.
I feel better already.

Kind regards,
Sarah Sands

"I feel like doing this has not only confirmed some stuff with me that I already knew, but helped me realize stuff I wouldn't have without that extra perspective. I know i may never be truly ‘cured’ from my problems, but I know feel less that I'm truly broken, and that I have the ability to work towards chsnge."
