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.

"I like the program and the options for therapists, but I've had some technical difficulties before, as I accidentally booked a text session instead of video and it wasn't possible to change it on short-notice, even though my therapist would have been able to switch to video as well."

"India was gentle but firm in making me address issues I didn't realize I was avoiding. I'm a tangled mess of thoughts and she picked right at what might just be the root of it within our first conversation - I think we both got lucky, but she is also good at what she does."

"Excellent service. Very easy to schedule and I like that the therapist and I meet weekly online but also chat and work together on my worksheets in between sessions. The worksheets are very helpful and make the in person online sessions much more affected
I highly recommend!

"A month and a few days in, I'm aleady seeing a difference in how I feel and act, and understanding myself better. I wasn't sure therapy solely through messages would do much, but my therapist is great at asking just the right questions to get me thinking deeper about things I used to take as "just how I am."

The flexibility is great, and I like being able to take the time to think through things while I'm writing my responses. My therapist's responses are usually quick-- usually there will be a message waiting in the morning and I'll think it over during the day, send my response that night, and continue the conversation the following day.

Even the cheapest tier is worth a shot, in my opinion.

"I use the basic subscription. I needed someone to help me get through a difficult time. Messaging back and forth with a therapist online worked well for me. It allowed me to express my feelings, emotions. You can write as much and as often as needed. Response time is usually timely. There are different levels of interaction if you need more. The site offers different tools to use. No pressure on what you do. I am grateful for this therapy program. I felt extremely comfortable throughout my time spent here. I recommend it for anyone in need of help."
