“Clients often find it to be incredibly helpful to unpack their bipolar diagnosis with a provider. I’ve found that talking through what the mood symptoms actually look like has been a powerful stigma breaker for my previous clients when they are coming to terms with this diagnosis. The more they understand the meaning of bipolar disorder, the easier it becomes.”

– Elise Miller, MA, LPC

View article

“A common mistake people make when trying to calm down from bipolar rage is trying to reason through it in the moment. When the nervous system is flooded, logic usually isn’t accessible. Instead, I encourage clients to focus on calming their body first. Then, they can reflect once they’ve returned to baseline.”

– Brandy Chalmers, LPC

“Shifts between manic and depressive states can significantly impact sensory perception, which is important to explore in therapy. During mania, you may experience heightened sensitivity to sound, light, or touch, while depressive states can bring either blunted sensory response or increased irritation to stimuli. With a therapist, you can build awareness around these shifts to support emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm.”

– Ashley Ayala, LMFT

Exploring online therapy for bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder and its impact on daily life

Bipolar disorder, characterized by extreme mood swings from high to low (mania to depression), impacts emotions, energy levels, behavior, and the ability to think clearly. These mood swings can be intense and unpredictable, affecting relationships, job performance, and daily life. Understanding and managing bipolar disorder is key to maintaining a balanced life and long-term health.

Why therapy for bipolar disorder can be essential

Therapy can be an integral part of managing bipolar disorder. Skilled therapists can help identify mood swing patterns and triggers and provide strategies to balance these extremes. Therapy can also help you cope with the challenges of bipolar disorder. Treatment may prevent the condition from worsening and mitigate the risk of related issues. Therapy for bipolar disorder can lead to better understanding, symptom management, and improved emotional stability.

Common therapeutic approaches for bipolar disorder

Therapists can use various therapeutic approaches to manage the unique symptoms of bipolar disorder. For example:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) assists in recognizing and altering thought patterns that influence mood swings.
  • Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) can reduce the severity of mood swings by stabilizing daily routines and sleep cycles.
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on helping you manage intense emotions. A therapist can teach you mindfulness and acceptance skills to improve emotional regulation.
Benefits of online therapy for bipolar disorder

Online therapy offers numerous advantages for managing bipolar disorder. It provides accessibility to licensed therapists in your state regardless of location, eliminating travel-related stress. Flexible scheduling allows sessions to fit into varying routines. The familiar and private home environment can make therapy sessions more comfortable, fostering openness and a stronger therapeutic relationship.

Choosing the right therapist for bipolar disorder
  • Ensure your therapist has expertise in bipolar disorder and experience treating it.
  • Discuss fees and session timing to ensure you can afford and find time for appointments.
  • Confirm that the therapist’s approach aligns with your needs and therapy goals.
  • In early sessions, assess if you feel comfortable and understood by the therapist.
FAQs about bipolar disorder therapy and therapists
When should I seek therapy for bipolar disorder?

Consider seeking therapy if you experience significant mood swings, have difficulty managing daily life, or if symptoms are impacting your relationships or work. Early signs of bipolar might include:

  • Severe mood swings
  • Extreme shifts in energy
  • Changes to sleep patterns, including getting much less sleep
  • Impulsive decision-making and reckless behavior

Therapy can provide critical support in managing bipolar disorder, offer strategies to stabilize mood swings, and help you maintain a more consistent daily life.

What is the typical length of therapy for bipolar disorder?

Therapy for bipolar disorder varies in length, often depending on the person’s response to treatment and the severity of symptoms. It may range from several months to ongoing support over the years. Regular assessments can ensure the therapeutic approach remains effective and responsive to changing needs.

What to expect in the first therapy session for bipolar disorder?

In your initial session, your therapist may discuss your medical history, symptoms, and the impact of the condition on your life. This session sets the foundation for your treatment plan and helps establish a trusting relationship with your therapist. You may also discuss the therapist's methods and your therapy goals.

How to identify a qualified therapist for bipolar disorder?

A qualified therapist for bipolar disorder should hold a relevant degree in psychology, social work, or counseling and have a license to practice in your state. Look for therapists with specific experience in bipolar disorder treatment and any additional qualifications in therapeutic approaches effective for this condition.

Does insurance typically cover bipolar disorder therapy sessions?

Insurance coverage for bipolar disorder therapy depends on your plan and provider. After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.

Is bipolar disorder therapy available online?

Yes, bipolar disorder therapy is available online and can be as effective as in-person sessions. Online therapy through Rula offers flexibility, convenience, and a comfortable setting. This can make it easier for those with bipolar disorder to access consistent and effective treatment.
