Just re-read some of the advice on the site about managing a losing trend. Personally, I think you should just bet through it, betting like you have been. Don't chase your losses, but don't lower your unit size or bet less.

The reason I say this is because (assuming you are betting with an advantage) the tide can turn at any time. By having an advantage, you are more likely to win your money back than lose more. So why not bet more, knowing you will eventually come back?

'Eventually' being the key word. That is not 100% certain though. Even though you're very likely to bounce back at some time, the problem is that chasing losses is overbetting. Overbetting nearly always leads to ruin.

When I was counting, and playing BJ online, individual hands/session results didn't really matter. You have to see the bigger picture, knowing every dollar bet brings you closer to expectation.
