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.

"The accelerated way that CBT functions is great and I got lucky with my therapist first try and connected very well. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming but I think that is just the structure and how fast you dive into it."

"When I first signed up, I selected all the things I needed help with, and for some reason I got matched with someone unqualified - she stated she cant "help with several of my *issues*". I decided to switch and give the program another chance even though that rubbed me the wrong way, and I'm glad it was just her. My therapist is sweet, and she understands the uniqueness of the things I talk to her about, and she tells me what's important in situations - not just taking my side. It's awesome and it's refreshing for both my partner and I to know I have someone who will tell me when I'm valid and when even the things I find difficult are valid as well."
