Starting Online therapy

What is online therapy?

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.

How does online therapy work?

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.

What is the best option for online therapy?

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.

Is online therapy just as effective?

Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.

How long does online therapy last?

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.

How much does online therapy cost?

Our Thriveworks therapists at Thriveworks in Aurora, IL accept most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

Like traditional therapy, online counseling can provide thoughtful support to anyone in need of emotional or mental health care. It can help you set goals, think positively, and break harmful habits. And it can be performed from anywhere you have internet service.

If you’ve ever felt that your emotional or psychological resolve could be strengthened, virtual counseling could benefit you. To set up a remote appointment, call us at Thriveworks in Aurora, IL.

Remote Therapy Services Offered in Aurora, IL

There’s a common misunderstanding that online therapy only benefits certain types of problems. But virtual counseling can actually benefit a variety of different disorders, illnesses, and concerns.

Some of the more common online therapy services include:

  • Couples therapy
  • Eating disorder counseling
  • Anxiety therapy and depression therapy
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Family therapy
  • Child therapy
  • Trauma therapy and PTSD counseling
  • Anger and stress management
  • Career guidance and life coaching
  • Loss and grief counseling

These and other common face-to-face therapies can be readily handled through video chat with the help of a counselor or other licensed mental health professional. Your counselor or therapist can even help you address multiple issues at once.

The important thing is to speak openly and honestly with your provider. This helps your counselor or therapist understand your situation so they can create an action plan that is tailored to your needs and goals.

Why Choose Online Counseling?

Therapy can be for anyone and everyone. No matter the severity of your mental illness, disorder, or concern, you deserve attentive care that addresses your specific needs.

Online therapy offers the same quality service as in-person therapy but with added benefits such as:

  • Increased accessibility for people living in faraway or remote areas or for people who have limited mobility.
  • Increased flexibility for people who need to fit a therapy session into a small block of time.
  • Increased comfort for anyone who wants to speak to a professional from a safe and familiar place.

I have to give Joleann nothing less than a 5 star review all the way. Her leadership skills were on display every day in the Psychiatric Rehab department. Leading a staff of more than 8 people in the department was no easy task and yet Joey did this with, what appeared to be, great ease. Extremely organized and ready to handle any situation that may arise. She always made time for her staff when ever any kind of guidance or support was needed. Even if it was just a smile and a few positive words to help make your day go a little brighter. On a personal level Joleann is a very empathetic and professional clinician. Going through several months of dealing with a personal tragedy she was there to listen, offer guidance and support whenever needed. She even helped answer questions when it came to confusing paperwork or dealing with frustrating phone calls that needed to be made. She is a true asset to the team.
