Online Therapy for Weight Loss

Category: Online Therapy for Weight Problems | Last updated: March 11th, 2026 | Medically reviewed by:

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!

"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!!"

"My experience at Online-therapy.com has been amazing. I had gone through a very tough and disastrous break up and my therapist has navigated me on my way to become more happy. The price is quite expensive, as a college student, but the support I have been able to receive is invaluable."

"There are many things I enjoy about this service. I like that I can message my therapist anytime and they respond quickly. I love the price of the service. I love the structured program that it provides. The reading and worksheets have made me think and work really hard in ways I didn't expect. I'm only 3 weeks in. I'm excited for what's next."

"Super helpful to discuss what's on my mind openly. Alan has been very thoughtful and understanding of my situation specifically. Definitely personalized sessions. I would recommend. The price is right and it improved how I was feeling and helped me move on from something."

"I’ve been very appreciative pf the services so far and I think the page works well and the CBT therapy has been working well for me. My therapist has been very considerate and has been offering good advice to me about my problems and has made me feel listened to. Would love an app, would make messaging slightly easier and more attainable than having to log in, that may be more of a personal barrier for me."

"I am signing up once again after using the tools I learned at Online Therapy. I lucked out and connected with Max Will, a therapist who listened closely and gave challanging, sympathetic, and objective insights to my personal situation. My patience has increased, my stress is less, and now I am looking to focus on future goals and put the past behind me."
