Online Emotional Dysregulation Therapy in Toronto Ontario
If you often feel overwhelmed by your emotions, as they control you instead of the other way around, know that this doesn’t make you weak or broken. Many of the clients I work with tell me they feel like they’re “too sensitive” or that their emotions are “too much.” They’ve tried to manage on their own, maybe even gone to therapy before, but they still feel stuck. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
I offer online emotional dysregulation therapy for clients in Toronto and across Ontario, designed to help you understand, manage, and make peace with your emotions in a safe, non-judgmental space. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I’m Stacy Olieux, RP (Qualifying) – And I Truly Get It
Hi, I’m Stacy, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the founder of Inner Healing and Serenity Psychotherapy. With over eight years of experience in community mental health, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Toronto and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
But more importantly, I understand what it’s like to live with emotional dysregulation. I’ve personally walked through the challenges of Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My journey toward healing has helped me become the therapist I am today, empathetic, grounded, and deeply committed to helping others feel seen and supported.
I live in Toronto with my husband and our Leonberger dog, and I bring my full, authentic self to every session, because you deserve a therapist who meets you with compassion and honesty.
What You Might Be Experiencing
Emotional dysregulation can feel like a storm that hits without warning. One moment you’re fine, and the next you’re overwhelmed by sadness, anger, shame, or anxiety. You may:
- Struggle to calm down once you’re upset
- Feel like your reactions are “too much” or hard to control
- Have trouble navigating conflict or relationships
- Be highly sensitive to rejection or criticism
- Feel ashamed of your emotional responses
- Notice that certain emotional reactions seem tied to long-standing core beliefs that approaches like schema therapy can help uncover
This isn’t about being dramatic; it’s about learning how your nervous system responds to stress, trauma, or unmet needs. Emotional regulation isn’t something we’re all taught growing up, but the good news is: it can be learned.
What to Expect from Online Emotional Dysregulation Therapy
In our therapy sessions, I’ll help you explore the roots of your emotional patterns and teach you practical, evidence-based tools to regain control. Therapy with me is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your needs.
Some of the approaches I use include:
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – Learn emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and relationship skills
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Get to know the different “parts” of you and how they interact with one another
- Schema Therapy – Identify long-standing patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – Reframe unhelpful thoughts and shift emotional responses
- Narrative Therapy – Re-author your story in a way that empowers you
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) – Learn to be present with your emotions without letting them define you
Every session is conducted virtually, allowing you to access therapy from anywhere in Toronto or throughout Ontario, in the comfort and privacy of your own space.
The Transformation You Can Expect
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you feel more like yourself. As we work together, you may notice:
- A greater sense of calm, even during difficult moments
- The ability to pause and respond instead of reacting impulsively
- Healthier, more fulfilling relationships
- Stronger self-awareness and confidence
- A deeper understanding of your emotional world, and more compassion for it
Through online trauma therapy in Ontario, we can gently explore the roots of these emotional patterns while building the tools you need to feel more grounded and in control.
Let’s Take That First Step Together
