Online-Therapy.com offers a unique take on online therapy. Like with most online therapy platforms, patients are matched with or can choose a licensed therapist. However, in addition to live text, voice, or video sessions, patients have access to a variety of therapeutic tools, including an 8-part, self-guided course with interactive, therapist-supported worksheets, journaling, an activity planner, and yoga and meditation.

Pros

  • Based on CBT, a scientifically validated, fact-based approach
  • Complete toolbox of therapeutic aids, including worksheets
  • Be matched with a therapist or choose your own
  • Live text, voice, or video sessions available each week

Cons

  • Live sessions not included in the basic plan
  • Doesn’t directly accept insurance (reimbursement may be possible)

How does Online-Therapy.com work?

Online-Therapy.com styles itself as a “complete toolbox” with a variety of mental health tools to complement your sessions with your therapist. These tools and your sessions are based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a scientifically validated, fact-based approach to therapy popular among both therapists and patients.

Online-Therapy.com works with qualified therapists and psychologists. After signing up, you’ll be matched with a therapist based on the profile you create. You also have access to a list of available online therapists and can change at any time. You can see a therapist's credentials and location and read their profile before making your decision.

Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in a 30-minute session with your therapist. Sessions can take place by text message or voice or video call. You can also send text messages to your therapist at any time (response times vary depending on your plan; see below).

In addition to providing insight and advice regarding your current situation, your therapist will guide you through the therapeutic process and explain how you can use the CBT tools at your disposal to improve your mental health.

These tools include interactive chapters (available as video, audio, or text) that can be read on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Accompanying these chapters are worksheets with guiding questions that will help both you and your therapist better understand your thoughts and feelings.

Your therapist will respond to your worksheets regularly (typically within 24 hours and in addition to your live sessions). You also have access to a journal, activity plan, and yoga and meditation videos, all within the context of CBT.

If you or a person you know is in danger of harm, call 1-800-273-8255 in the US or your national mental health hotline. If you are unsure of whom to contact, call the police (911 in the US, 112 in Europe).

The Premium plan ($79.95/we, $319,88/mo) adds express replies for your messaging.
