Online Therapy for Depression
Empower Yourself with Accessible Care and Effective Outcomes
Depression is a serious mental health condition affecting over 21 million Americans, or 8.3% of the population. Despite the growing need for mental health services, many individuals face high costs, long travel distances, and busy schedules, limiting access to mental healthcare.
Online therapy is changing that. With convenient, affordable, and tailored healthcare, online therapy empowers you to take control of your mental health. With personalized treatment plans and flexible scheduling, you can receive the specialized care you need and begin living the life you deserve.
Our dedicated therapists offer online therapy services via Zoom or Skype for Michigan residents, allowing you to focus on your mental health without worrying about costs and scheduling.
Convenient and Flexible: The Benefits of Online Therapy for Depression
Care on Your Terms

Therapy That Fits Your Life
Affordable Care Without Compromise
Traditional therapy can be costly, with added expenses for travel or time off work. Online therapy offers an affordable alternative without sacrificing quality of care.
Personalized Care for Lasting Change
Breaking the Cycle: Treating Depression with Online Therapy
Depression is a mood disorder that affects millions, causing persistent feelings of sadness, lack of interest, tiredness, and hopelessness. It’s the weight that makes getting out of bed impossible, the fog that clouds your focus and passion, and the isolation that keeps you from reaching out for help. Depression affects not just our emotions but how we think, feel, and relate to others.
Psychotherapy is one of the most effective ways to treat depression. Evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, offer a structured, goal-oriented, and empathetic setting where individuals can discuss current challenges and work on practical skills to improve outcomes and foster emotional resilience. Additionally, a significant part of therapy focuses on building strengths and cultivating self-esteem. This dual approach provides individuals with the tools they need to manage depression while thriving in their daily lives.
Online therapy offers the same skills and support while being accessible to everyone. For those who face challenges with logistics, scheduling, or privacy, only therapy offers a convenient, flexible solution.
How Does Medication Work With Online Therapy?
Medication and therapy are both effective in managing depression and are often complementary treatments.
Therapy addresses the underlying thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional challenges of depression; medication helps balance brain chemicals, known as neurotransmitters, that contribute to its symptoms.
However, there are limits to who can prescribe medication and what medications are available online. While therapists can provide mental health services, only psychiatrists (who are medical doctors) can prescribe medication. Medication is prescribed online via telepsychiatry, and the types of medication available are limited by state.
If medication is an appropriate option for you, the best option is to discuss it with your therapist during online sessions and ask if they offer telepsychiatry services. In some cases, you may be asked to conduct an in-person evaluation to determine the effectiveness of medication in addition to online therapy.
