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!

"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!!!"

"This is my first experience of any therapy and I'm been very happy so far. It's only been a month, but the combination of weekly sessions and worksheets to work through have been very helpful. I'm finding the writing process very cathartic. Regarding the sessions, I didn't require anything groundbreaking, I just needed a neutral voice who could help me to better understand my own hypothesis of what I was facing. It has been everything I required, and I've been very pleasantly surprised at how quickly it has had a positive effect on my life."

"I really have enjoyed my time using Online-Therapy.com

It personally changed my opinion on therapy as I didnt always like battling traffic and sitting in a waiting room. Now I get to choose the time that works for me on my schedule. That right there is A LOT and one less thing that is going on in my head. Having the ability to message my therapist if something pops up and is fresh in my brain is also a huge perk. Sometimes it might be something that I just want to addresss in the next session or give feedback on what happened with the advice that was given to a situation.

I recommend this site to everyone that has told me that they are having issues."
