Mood Disorders
Treating Mood Disorders​
Mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder, can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Bipolar disorder, characterized by extreme mood swings that range from manic or hypomanic highs to depressive lows, is a complex condition that can be challenging to manage without the right support. These mood fluctuations can make it difficult to maintain stability in various aspects of life, from work and social relationships to personal goals and self-care.
At Mountain Heart Counseling, we provide compassionate, individualized online therapy to help you manage the symptoms of bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. We understand that each person’s experience with mood disorders is unique, which is why we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs. Our therapy is focused on helping you achieve greater emotional stability, reduce the frequency and intensity of mood swings, and improve your quality of life.
We use a combination of therapeutic approaches to treat mood disorders, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). DBT offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which are particularly beneficial for managing the intense emotions associated with bipolar disorder. ACT encourages you to accept your emotions and thoughts without judgment while committing to actions that align with your values and long-term goals.
In some cases, we may also incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to address any underlying trauma that may be exacerbating your mood disorder. EMDR therapy can help you process past experiences that contribute to mood instability, providing relief from triggers that may lead to mood swings.
Our goal is to help you develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life. We’re here to support you every step of the way on your journey to better mental health.
