Depression Therapy
Online ACT-Based Treatment for a More Connected, Meaningful Life
You don’t have to keep carrying this weight alone. Healing begins with one small, supported step.
Depression can make everything feel harder — getting out of bed, staying focused, connecting with people and things you care about, or even feeling hopeful about the future. If you're struggling with low mood, exhaustion, guilt, or a sense of “numbness,” you’re in the right place.
We offer warm, evidence-based online therapy for depression, using an approach based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you step out of the depression cycle and reconnect with the things that matter most to you.

Depression Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken - It Means You’re Human & Hurting
Depression shows up in many ways, including:
Persistent sadness or numbness
Fatigue or loss of motivation
Difficulty concentrating
Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
Feeling overwhelmed or stuck
Increased self-criticism
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Many people blame themselves for feeling this way. You don’t need to.
Depression is not a personal failure — it’s a signal that you deserve care, support, and understanding. Online depression therapy can help you rise from these cycles of depression and find a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.

How ACT Helps with Depression
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a compassionate, research-supported approach that helps you build a different relationship with your thoughts and emotions — one that opens space for growth, movement, and meaning.
With ACT, you will learn to:
Allow difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled under
Reduce the struggle with your mind (“I have to stop thinking this way”)
Shift out of self-criticism and into self-kindness
Notice depressive thoughts rather than automatically believing them
Reconnect with personal values that give your life direction and meaning
Take small, steady steps toward what matters to you — even on hard days
Instead of fighting your inner experience, ACT helps you build psychological flexibility — the ability to move toward a meaningful life even when depression tries to hold you back. We offer ACT for Depression online therapy to help clients live a life aligned with their unique personal values, even on hard days.

Is ACT a good fit for me?
Research has shown that Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for Depression is effective in treating major depression, chronic low mood, trauma-related depression, and high-functioning depression. ACT honors each individual’s unique perspectives, values, and goals for their life, working under the premise that people find meaning and satisfaction when their life is aligned with what matters most to them. And meaning can be found even on days when you are sad, on days when you are angry, and days when you are anxious. ACT isn’t about forcing positivity, it’s about developing new ways to respond to difficult emotions and thoughts while continuing to move towards the life you want to live.
ACT may be a good fit for you if:
you’ve tried other therapy for depression that hasn’t worked
you’re feeling disconnected from your goals and values
you’re lacking a sense of meaning in your life
you’re “just getting through” each day
you’ve got great pieces of your life that you feel you’re not able to enjoy
you feel like you’re heading in the wrong direction for your life
you’re craving the feeling of “a life well lived.”
