Manage Your Bipolar with Online Therapy
While it is common for people to experience mood swings from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) their mood shifts from periods of over-excitement and feeling like you're "on fire" (manic episodes) to periods of feeling severely depressed (depressive episodes).
During manic episodes, it's common to have a generally elevated mood, be highly active, experience higher self-esteem and need less sleep. This often alternates with depressive periods where you feel little joy in life, have problems sleeping, gain or lose weight and experience a loss of energy.
While this can be stressful and even debilitating, there is hope. Our therapy for bipolar is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown in research studies to help people with bipolar disorder, often used in conjunction with medication. You see, it is your thoughts that affect your perception of the world, and with bipolar disorder, your brain tends to process information in an inaccurate and distorted way. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to identify and challenge these distorted and negative thought patterns that cause your stress and even harmful behavior. By identifying the situations that trigger your manic and depressive episodes, you will be more aware of when a mood shift is about to happen. And, eventually, you will be able to control your emotions and stress. By discovering new coping and behavioral skills, you will be able to stick to a treatment plan and live a more stable lifestyle, which will reduce the risks of a relapse.

"I was at a really low spot, honestly, and it was my own fault. But Kacey has really helped me pinpoint some things that I've always known were wrong, but didn't know how to address. She also helped hold me accountable for beginning to exercise again, and encourages me to give myself credit for where I'm already at. That in itself is a priceless piece of advice that has taught me alot. Online Therapy is the best thing that's happened to me in a long time."

"Beth Lakes is a wonderful and thoughtful and present therapist! I was a therapist in a previous life and I can tell you she is very good at her calling to do this for others. She is kind and pays attention to what you are saying as much as what you are not saying. Definitely recommend her and Online Therapy. It is very flexible with how and where and when."
