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've been with online-therapy.com for a month now and I must say, so far they are doing a great job. I've tried therapy before and it didn't work for me because if the therapist or the company itself and as I said so far I'm well impressed. I've felt well guided without pressure and a great thank you to Tanya, my therapist, as she is so so good. The program is really complete with a great way for us to guide ourselves or be guided by them. If you are feeling alone and not sure of what to do, give it a try.
You have nothing to lose as probably you already did l, so might as well. And don't give up on yourselves most of all. Be strong, you are loved and cared for!!!"

"I find Sarah Cooper is very helpful in keep in touch and follow up with me. I truly appreciate it. I find this getting my attention to remind myself that I need to adjust my anger management. She has been very professional lately. I'd like to stay with for the next session when I have my own spare time. Overall the online-therapy.com is worth it to help the reminders not to get my anger out of control. Thank you."

"I had Lynn Hiscoe as my therapist over the past few months. She has helped me understand why I am who I am along with the guidance I needed to work on improving my relationship with my Wife. She has a very direct, no nonsense approach which I found to be very effective in leading me down the path to becoming more empathetic, kind, and compassionate. I would recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a great therapist!"
