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've almost finished my first month and feel very positive about how things are going. I particularly enjoyed the worksheets which my therapist can review and feedback on. It gives us plenty to discuss in the video calls if there's not something I specifically want to choose to discuss. Marisa my therapist, is really good to talk to and gives me a lot of hope for developing and a happier future being myself. The messaging side of the therapy is great, I always receive very considered and detailed responses to anything I have asked or mentioned. I would recommend this platform to anybody needing someone to talk to or feel they need support."

"Navigating a comprehensive workbook like this requires a massive amount of mental energy, vulnerability, and honest self-reflection. It has really given me a lot to think about and has given me a different perspective on day to day life."

"very very very helpful so far
asking the right questions
I've been really happy with OnlineTherapy.com. Getting matched with a therapist was quick and easy, and the interactions have genuinely helped me work through what I was struggling with. Being able to message my therapist and fit appointments around my schedule made a huge difference — it felt way more accessible than in-person therapy. Highly recommend if you're looking for flexible, quality support.""
