Online Therapy for Weight Loss

Category: Online Therapy for Weight Problems | Last updated: March 11th, 2026 | Medically reviewed by:

Do you ever get frustrated with yourself for knowing what is healthy to eat, but then consuming the exact opposite?

Are you able to start a diet, but have trouble sticking with it?

Have you lost some weight in the past, only to have it come right back (and maybe even more)?

If so, the reason is not that you are weak or destined to be this weight forever. It has to do with how you lose weight.

You see, the first step to effective and long-term weight loss is not to address your eating, but rather to address your mind and why you eat the way you do. Factors that play a role include your self-image, everyday stress and negative emotions and behaviors.

Rather than focusing only on short-term diets, this program combines conventional weight management approaches with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies that address the thoughts and habits connected to eating. Through this process, you can begin to understand why you eat the way you do and what everyday situations may trigger overeating or unhealthy food choices. By developing healthier thinking patterns and behavioral strategies, many people are able to build sustainable habits that support long-term weight management.

Specifically, our therapy for weight problems is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn to identify and challenge the automatic negative thoughts that cause your weight problems. Learning how to make permanent changes in your thinking will create permanent changes in your eating. You will be able to identify what situations trigger your unhealthy eating and learn new ways to deal with your emotions – instead of numbing them with food. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to incorporate healthy eating habits into your lifestyle. This will help you to reach your weight loss goal and to maintain your desired weight. You can do this, and we are here to assist you along the way!

"Great quality therapist, I like the structure of the plan but would be better to be able to assign a weekly recurring slot with a therapist that wya you can meet at the same time every week instead of manually booking"

"Its been really helpful to have a place to check in often and speak my mind when I need to. The worksheets help me with my thoughts and behaviors and my approach to mental health. I have seen improvements in my health and in my overall life."

"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.

"The tools are very helpful, the website is organized, the sessions are incredible. This online service made therapy accessible to me, since I live in a foreign country, and couldn't find (affordable) help in English."

"I’ve been using this online therapy platform for about a month and it’s been a really positive experience. My therapist is attentive, professional, and gives me practical tools I can use in real life. The app makes it easy to schedule sessions and send messages between appointments. Overall, I feel more supported and clear‑headed than I did when I started, and I plan to keep using it."

"It took a few days to become adjusted to the website but once I became comfortable and familiar enough, I really started to enjoy it. I learned a lot within the first few days about “why” I think and react the way I do, and paying attention to my behavior has opened my eyes to so many things. I used to sit alone and wonder “what is wrong with me? Why do I think or act this way? What can I do to make it better?” I looked for answers in all the wrong places and couldn’t afford therapy out of pocket, until I was recommended to online-therapy. It’s affordable, I get to speak to my therapist more than I was previously, and everything is documented and recorded so I can always go back and review what I’ve already covered as a refresher. I didn’t enjoy therapy before, but this site has made it so much easier."

"Even though I only purchased a month's worth of help, Tina Jackson helped more than I could imagine! I would definitely recommend her and Online Therapy if you need someone to talk to."

"The service is good and flexible. Everything was pretty transparent with what they advertise when signing up. I would probably use this service again."
