What is TAO Self-Help?

TAO Therapy Online Logo Think of TAO as an online library of engaging, interactive programs to learn life skills and to help you bounce back from disappointments or stumbling blocks in life. TAO is an interactive, web-based program that provides guided activities to help overcome anxiety, depression and other common concerns.

We are excited to provide you with very powerful evidenced-based, learner-focused content that aims to increase positive and adaptive behavior. Using TAO you will learn:
  • PERSONAL SKILLS for developing personal agency and managing oneself;
  • COGNITIVE SKILLS for analyzing and using information;
  • INTER-PERSONAL SKILLS for communicating and interacting effectively with others.
TAO is tailored to fit your schedule and your needs:
  • The exercises can be completed through a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
  • The online TAO programs are accessible 24/7.

You can complete TAO at your own pace, whether that's just one session a day, or perhaps two whole modules. It's entirely up to you.
