From beginning to end, we’ll tailor your online therapy experience to you.

Benefits of individual therapy

Reduce mental health symptoms

Talk therapy can help you manage symptoms linked to conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and eating disorders.

Bolster self-esteem

Strengthen your sense of self-worth and break patterns of negative self talk.

Improve emotional wellbeing

Therapy builds greater emotional regulation and awareness, helping to replace negative thought patterns with healthy habits.

Types of individual therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the connection between people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to interrupt anxiety and other mental health challenges.

Dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT)

Focuses on building emotional regulation skills and encouraging participants to fully accept all parts of themselves — even their anxiety.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a therapeutic technique that uses specific eye movements or tapping to help people process traumatic memories.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

ACT is a mindfulness-based form of behavioral therapy. It can effectively treat depression, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, and health conditions like chronic pain.

We’re making online therapy work the way it should.

Rula was the only way I was able to find a therapist. Everywhere else I was running into barriers. At a time when I was really struggling, finding help seemed impossible. Rula made it possible.
