Online Depression Treatment in Chicago, IL and PSYPACT States
You’re tired of feeling hopeless. Nothing interests you these days.

There’s no point in getting out of bed. Most of the time you feel “stuck” in life.
You’re feeling down most of the day. You feel like this most days of the week.
Things that you normally enjoy don’t seem to interest you anymore.
Honestly, life is starting to feel like a pointless chore. Getting out of bed in the morning is extremely difficult. Even so, it’s as if every fiber of your being seems to want to just stay there and sleep. If this sounds familiar, you might be suffering from depression. Or, if these feelings seem to come every winter for no reason, you might be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Taking the first step in getting help for depression may seem difficult, but many people feel improvements in just 12 weeks.
At Equipoise, we take a strategic approach to virtual therapy by implementing a practice called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, better known as CBT. Through this approach, you are better able to analyze your thoughts and behaviors in order to tackle your depression from the root.

Depression can make doing simple tasks seem impossible, and forget doing anything with a smile on your face. While everyone’s experience with depression is different, some common symptoms manifest in most people.
Feelings of fatigue and low energy, difficulty concentrating, general feeling of hopelessness and being down and just not finding pleasure in most things can all be symptoms of depression impacting your life.
While it may seem as though you will never find a way out of the darkness,
depression does not have to control your life.

The Equipoise Approach To Depression Treatment
Our caring therapists use several different therapeutic approaches for depression treatment. Our foundation is in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or “CBT” for short. CBT involves teaching you how to analyze the two major factors that influence your mood: your thought patterns and your behaviors. Ultimately, CBT empowers you to resolve your depression through specific techniques and interventions.
Why Equipoise?
The word Equipoise refers to a counterbalance of opposing forces; to oppose or balance one side with an equal weight or force on the other.
Our approach to the treatment of mental health disorders is based on the model of Equipoise. With our teletherapy sessions, they feel very much like in person therapy, only you have the flexibility to attend when and where you need a session most.
You don’t have to live with the weight of depression on your shoulders.
