Online Therapy for PTSD

Category: PTSD Online Therapy | Last updated: March 11th, 2026 | Medically reviewed by:

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a highly stressful or traumatic event, such as an accident, abuse, war, or a distressing medical experience.

If you have experienced a traumatic event in your life and are faced with flashbacks of this trauma, memory loss, feeling much more anxious and vigilant compared to before or avoiding things that remind you of the trauma, then you might be suffering from PTSD. Note that these symptoms often appear within a few weeks but it can also take years.

Our online CBT program includes tools and exercises designed to help people who experience symptoms related to post-traumatic stress. With the guidance of a therapist, you can gradually explore difficult thoughts, memories, and situations connected to past experiences in a structured and supportive way.

CBT approaches for trauma-related symptoms often focus on understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Many people find that learning new ways to respond to reminders of past events can help reduce distress and improve their sense of control.

Work is done gradually and at a pace that feels manageable for you. Over time, many people experience fewer anxiety reactions and feel better able to move forward in their daily lives.

"This is my third week at Online Therapy. The therapy work is intense, and I feel really tired on an emotional level, but I am so incredibly grateful for this opportunity.
I have an amazing therapist who is very capable of guiding and supporting me through this healing process. Although I know there is still a long road ahead of me, I am already noticing improvements that make a huge difference for me and feel deeply meaningful. I feel truly grateful that I was able to start therapy now, while my child is still young and can benefit from having a mother who is calmer, more relaxed, and more in control of herself — and therefore much better able to co-regulate a little one.
If anyone reading this is wondering whether they should do it: do it. You are worth it. It can change you, change your perspective, give you valuable tools, and help strengthen and rebuild you from within — if you are willing to truly engage with the process."

"A month and a few days in, I'm aleady seeing a difference in how I feel and act, and understanding myself better. I wasn't sure therapy solely through messages would do much, but my therapist is great at asking just the right questions to get me thinking deeper about things I used to take as "just how I am."

The flexibility is great, and I like being able to take the time to think through things while I'm writing my responses. My therapist's responses are usually quick-- usually there will be a message waiting in the morning and I'll think it over during the day, send my response that night, and continue the conversation the following day.

Even the cheapest tier is worth a shot, in my opinion."
