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!

"I find this site very helpful. I like the many ways that we can be involved with Online-therapy.com such as yoga, audio, messaging, jounalling and work sheets. Also, we can change how we wish to be involved. I like that we can have face to face therapy and messaging. My therapist is excellent and very suitable for me and also messages me back very quickly. I like the CBT aspect of the site. I find listening to talks about CBT creates understanding as well as the reading. I would always return to Online-therapy.com if I need to."

"Vanessa has been a lovely therapist. She has helped me tremendously with dealing with life changes and with feeling more confident. I've been feeling a lot happier recently with some of the coping strategies and new thought patterns we have worked on together, and I highly recommend her as a therapist!"
