While it is common for people to experience mood changes from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression), their mood shifts between periods of elevated or highly energized mood (manic or hypomanic episodes) and periods of depression.

During manic episodes, a person may feel unusually energetic, confident, and active, often needing less sleep. These periods can alternate with depressive phases that involve low mood, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, but many people learn ways to better understand and manage mood changes and build stability over time. Our online therapy program uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles to help people better understand their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. CBT is often used as a supportive approach alongside medical care. With guidance from a therapist, you can learn to recognize early warning signs of mood changes, develop healthier coping strategies, and build routines that support emotional stability. By increasing awareness of potential triggers and learning practical skills, many people find it easier to manage stress and maintain a more balanced daily life.

People experiencing symptoms of bipolar disorder should consult qualified healthcare professionals for proper evaluation and care.

"This is my first therapy experience ever and honesty it's been great so far. I appreciate the worksheets and resources to use when you're not having a session. I also appreciate the different options depending how comfortable you are. I definitely recommend anyone looking to try therapy for the first time to give this a try."

"I came to Therapy 5 weeks ago with a relationship problem that I had spent years without a solution for. I had tried therapy twice before to no avail, but after my first session with Gina, I knew I had found the right therapist to help me through my problem. First and foremost, she emphasized that the turmoil I was struggling with was not something to be ashamed of and assured me that we would work through it together. Gina came to each session with helpful insights and ended each session with thoughtful takeaways. Her responses to my worksheets were detailed, impactful, and encouraging. Gina helped me arrive at a solution that I am confident in, but more importantly, it's a decision that feels like my own. 10/10 would recommend."

"very very very helpful so far
asking the right questions
I've been really happy with OnlineTherapy.com. Getting matched with a therapist was quick and easy, and the interactions have genuinely helped me work through what I was struggling with. Being able to message my therapist and fit appointments around my schedule made a huge difference — it felt way more accessible than in-person therapy. Highly recommend if you're looking for flexible, quality support.""

"I like the availability and the direct support given here. I've been an on-and-off customer for 3 years and I always come back when I need it. The platform doesn't make me fill out long forms, and the direct messaging is always simple."

"Lynn was a great therapist! She understood the problems I was having and she gave me a plan that I will follow. I had the feeling that she actually cared about me and my problems. If I ever need a therapist again she will be the therapist I contact!!"

"Navigating a comprehensive workbook like this requires a massive amount of mental energy, vulnerability, and honest self-reflection. It has really given me a lot to think about and has given me a different perspective on day to day life."
