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.

"Love Amanda Laflamme my therapist. She is easygoing, easy to talk to, understanding but also isn’t scared to call me out or ask me tough questions. Just from doing most of the worksheets and one session with her and I feel 100x better. Just one session and already implementing her strategies and it’s immediately working. I’m so grateful I did a Google search and found this website. Thank you Amanda and Online-Therapy! Thank you so much!!!! Really looking forward to the rest of my journey working with her!!!"

"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."

"Online therapy has been such a wonderful experience. Easy to use, I love my therapist & so many resources available! I am so grateful that they offer far more reasonable prices compared to other options available. I would not have been able to get the help I needed without them."

"After a month or so I belive i can write a review for this site. It has a decent amount it offers for the price and the worksheets it provides, although they are not always the most indepth they do help to guide your thought process and conversations when you are unsure where to start. Easy to change therapist on this site and have no technical problems with this service so far. Overall its a good service for its price"
