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.

Forget ineffective diets that last a few months. Get into a program where you will engage in using conventional weight loss methods combined with cognitive behavior therapy strategies to guide you out of those negative thinking habits and behavioral patterns that cause your weight problems. This program helps you become aware of why you eat the way you do and what everyday situations trigger you to over-eat or eat the wrong types of food. This will allow you to lose weight, and to keep it off over the long term.

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!

"I've only been utilizing the service for three weeks, but I already feel well-supported and understood, and I'm beginning to see some small improvements. The feature that allows me to communicate via messages in between sessions has been particularly beneficial for me. Additionally, the ease of determining which therapist truly suits my needs is a crucial aspect for me. The platform offers extensive options for those who wish to engage with the assessment forms available on the website. This allows for a more comprehensive self-examination and the opportunity to share these insights with the therapist, receive feedback, and access all information for future reference. Occasionally, I would like the ability to share a PDF file; as someone who paints frequently, I find it limiting that I am unable to share my artwork on the platform. Nonetheless, I have found the support I was seeking here overall."

"These worksheets are really helpful. I've been forced to do a lot of worksheets in my life as a person with BPD but the advice on here is properly thought out and profound rather than just trying to cover up the problem with "skills", and the questions on the worksheets are insightful and helped me have some important realisaions."

"Now that I'm toward the end of my sections/worksheets, I'm happy to report that Online-Therapy was a great choice for me. The structured sections, video lessons, and ability to communicate with my therapist through chat/messages is what really interested me to begin with, and it's worked out perfectly. I'm especially grateful for my therapist, Cynthia, who I was paired with from the start. She's been wonderful in providing me the space to feel free and comfortable to share whatever is on my mind, and has been equally great in responding to me and helping me make noticeable progress over a handful of months."

"I really love my therapist! Working with her has been really productive and helpful, and I love that I am able to set up weekly appointments with her through the platform, no hassle. It's great that I can also message her throughout the week with key updates or things I'd like to discuss during our next session."

"Dr. Peter Sacco has a lot of experience and a very enlightening perspective on certain situations. We had talked through some things, and worked through some things together. I found after my sessions, I had more energy again and more confidence in myself again. I had more of a clean perspective on certain situations. He has a lot of wisdom to share, and If you're looking for effective CBT therapy I would recommend to work with him."
