With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.

Have you ever wished that you could attend your appointments from home? Fortunately, thanks to modern-day technology, this is now a possibility. Telehealth, or online health services, allows you to meet with a healthcare provider virtually.

That’s right, telehealth is for mental health, too! You can now meet with a mental health professional right from home. Here at Thriveworks Arlington, we have multiple online counseling options, including telephone counseling and video counseling.

You only need access to a phone, computer, or another smart device that will allow you to answer your counselor’s call or chat with them over video.
