Online psychotherapists can help you cope with the most common mental health conditions, such as depression and burnout, anxiety and panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive and eating disorders, and somatoform disorders (physical symptoms caused by psychological stress).
You’ll have easy access to comprehensive online psychotherapy —ideal if, for professional or personal reasons, you have little time for regular in-person visits, or if the selection of suitable psychotherapists in your area is very limited.

How the Online Program Works:
Step 1
Book your personal consultation (initial in-person session) online with one of our affiliated psychotherapists—quickly and easily, right in your area. You can choose from over 100 locations in Germany.
Step 2
The initial in-person consultation lasts 50 minutes. During this session, you’ll find out whether online therapy is a good fit for you and what preliminary diagnosis the therapist makes. Sometimes, an alternative option may be better suited to your personal situation.
Step 3
Is online therapy a good option for you? Congratulations! Then you can book your first psychotherapy appointment online right away. All you need is a computer or tablet.
Step 4
The rest of the psychotherapy takes place 100% online. The online psychotherapists will support you through up to 24 video sessions. The therapy is supplemented by regular exercises between sessions and chat interactions.
