This is where online Counseling on Demand comes in. You need not go through this alone.  With our support, you can get through these times. Talk therapy is not just talk.  It is the formation of a unique relationship.  Employing the techniques outlined below, as effective as they are, it’s more than that.   It’s the relationship itself that heals.

Here’s how we do it together:

1.    Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for depression focuses on relationships.  Some studies show that it is as effective as antidepressants.

2.    Psychodynamic Therapy

When most people think of therapy, psychodynamic is

the type that comes to mind. It involves getting to the

psychological root of your depression.

3.    Talk Therapy

If you’ve never been to a therapist, you might be

surprised by your experience. Just as there are many

types of antidepressants, there are also a few

different   kinds of therapy.

4.    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people

find new ways of dealing with negative thoughts and behaviors, instead of delving into the past.
