My go-to approach for helping people through online therapy is to meet clients (quite literally) where they are. I find the best results from being able to connect with people in this way because it can take off some of the pressure from being in a traditional office setting and be more comfortable participating in therapy from your own couch. Online therapy is unique, and I always try to set the expectation in the very first session of how therapy works and to view it as an ongoing professional relationship to reach your goals.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when the treatment goals are being met. At the beginning of therapy, I ask my clients what they want to get out of therapy and, together, we create a treatment plan. When we stick to the plan together and adjust it as needed throughout treatment, it seems to make the biggest impact.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by doing therapy worksheets, reading books or articles online, doing self-help booklets, or by watching educational videos on YouTube/other social media platforms. There is so much information available on the internet to help you learn the skills you need to reach your therapeutic goals.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, get yourself a private, comfortable place to sit that is free from distractions. Know that everything in your appointment stays between you and your therapist unless you provide written consent to share details of your session. It may be helpful to create a list of topics you want to cover in your first session so that you make sure to get your therapist on the same page as you and your goals for 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.
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.
Do you ever wish that you could attend your appointment from the comfort and convenience of your own home? Well, when it comes to therapy and counseling, now you can! Say goodbye to the days where you sat in endless traffic only to arrive late to your therapy session. Say goodbye to the days where you struggled to find an appointment time that fits into your busy day. And say hello to the comfort, convenience, and flexibility of online counseling.
I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
