My approach when first working with clients online is to meet the clients wherever they are in their healing journey with unconditional positive regard. Creating a safe space for clients to be seen and heard is key, as we work together to meet their specific treatment goals. I find that there are many benefits to working with clients online. Online or telehealth therapy can allow the client to participate in sessions from the comfort of their own home. Not only does this help the client feel more comfortable in their environment, but helps make counseling more accessible to clients in any location. I also find that hosting sessions online allows me to use a more diverse set of tools and visual aids in working towards a goal that is tailored specifically to the client and their needs.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy because they begin to show significant progress towards their goals and they begin to implement skills learned independently. The client begins to take initiative in improving their life, living the life they want to the best of their ability
I encourage clients to continue their work on goals outside of the online therapy session by practicing new skills learned and working on implementing them in real-life situations. Clients also have many options to supplement their time outside of sessions including worksheets, readings, personal writing, and many more! With all of these supplemented materials and applications, it is best to keep your treatment goals in mind and what is most helpful in making progress in those areas.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can begin to think of goals for therapy or specific areas in life you would like to work on with your counselor. Most importantly, your first online session is a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other and for you to see if your therapist is a good fit for you. Just take a breath, calm your nerves, and be yourself!
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.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Online counseling is the alternative to in-person counseling, especially those looking for a more convenient option. Instead of working with your therapist at his or her office, you meet with them virtually from wherever you need or prefer! Yes, this means you can attend your therapy session from the comfort and convenience of your own home. Just make sure you have Wi-Fi or phone service when the time comes to connect with your counselor. Speaking of which, you’ll get to choose how you want to meet with your counselor. Your options include:
Any of the above can prove effective—just think about your needs, goals, and preferences, and then choose which option you think is right for you. For example, if you’d prefer to have a structured therapy session (as you do in the traditional in-person approach to therapy), you’re probably better off choosing phone counseling or videoconference counseling. On the other hand, if you’re open to a more casual and flexible experience, email/text messaging might suit you well!
