Online Therapy for Depression
Clinically reviewed by Karan Singh, Ph.D.
Depression isn’t just sadness. It can show up as losing interest in things you used to enjoy, low energy, sleep and appetite changes, trouble concentrating, irritability, or a heavy sense of hopelessness. It’s common and treatable.
Approaches we use
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): identifying and testing the thoughts that keep you stuck
- Behavioral Activation: rebuilding routines and rewarding activities step by step
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): acting on your values even when your mood is low
- Couples or family sessions when depression is straining relationships
