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.

"Great platform with interactive dashboard that provides more than simple counselling sessions. The onboarding system and survey is in depth and insightful, working to pair with a therapist/counsellor who has the right experience and tools to help. Scheduling system is clear and easy to navigate. Staff I've interacted with have been kind, professional and helpful."

"This is my third week at Online Therapy. The therapy work is intense, and I feel really tired on an emotional level, but I am so incredibly grateful for this opportunity.
I have an amazing therapist who is very capable of guiding and supporting me through this healing process. Although I know there is still a long road ahead of me, I am already noticing improvements that make a huge difference for me and feel deeply meaningful. I feel truly grateful that I was able to start therapy now, while my child is still young and can benefit from having a mother who is calmer, more relaxed, and more in control of herself — and therefore much better able to co-regulate a little one.
If anyone reading this is wondering whether they should do it: do it. You are worth it. It can change you, change your perspective, give you valuable tools, and help strengthen and rebuild you from within — if you are willing to truly engage with the process.

"I’ve been very appreciative pf the services so far and I think the page works well and the CBT therapy has been working well for me. My therapist has been very considerate and has been offering good advice to me about my problems and has made me feel listened to. Would love an app, would make messaging slightly easier and more attainable than having to log in, that may be more of a personal barrier for me."

"Quick and Easy to get set up with a therapist and good flexibility in appointments. There are online worksheets to help you start off but also I found that talking in sessions helped to discover insights. My therapist has been great in teaching me to understand how my subconscious mind works, how this has been affecting me and helping me move forward from thoughts and behaviours that trouble me."
