What is Online CBT?
Kelty's Key Online Therapy uses the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This method focuses on learning new skills and developing effective coping strategies. CBT has been widely studied and clinically proven to work. We offer CBT in an online format via email. You can do it from your home or wherever you have a computer.
Psychologists from Vancouver Coastal Health have developed this program. The program was modeled on other successful Online CBT programs.
