Trouble living in a foreign country.

So I have anxiety and depression, which I've been taking medication for for almost two years. It's been helpful, although I've not been doing very well recently.

I would like to go to therapy again, because I think that would be really helpful for me, but there's one big problem (aside from money). I moved to Mexico in September 2017 to be with my husband, but my Spanish is very limited. I have been trying to learn, but honestly, learning languages is something I am not good at. It's taking a really long time, and I often get dispirited with it when I can't understand what people are saying. I don't think there are English speaking therapists here (I live in Chihuahua City), so I'm wondering if there's any alternative to traditional cbt that I could engage in. It's hard not to feel really isolated out here and although I'm sure it will get better when I know the language, that is proving to be very difficult for me.

Does anyone know of any online treatments or... anything that might be available? Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this.
