I approach online therapy the same way I would with in-person therapy: with empathetic and nonjudgmental listening, allowing the client to set the agenda.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when I can see improved functioning in many areas of living, and the client identifies a decrease in symptoms and an increase in positive self-regard.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by practicing the things discussed in therapy sessions.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can explore the things you are struggling with and identify your goals for treatment.
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.

Online therapy enables clients to work with their therapist or counselor over the internet. This option, which is also known as internet counseling, teletherapy, and cyber counseling, will let you work with your counselor over the phone, via video chat, through email or text message. This means that you can either meet with your therapist in real-time or go the more flexible, casual route and utilize a time-delayed format.
Some people prefer to meet with their therapist in-person, as they value that face-to-face interaction. Others, though, enjoy the comfort and convenience of online therapy. Despite popular belief, online therapy is not a new concept. It started in 1982, when the first online self-help group was created. And it’s only grown in popularity since! Now, you can enjoy online self-help groups, mental health discussion boards, and personalized care from a licensed counselor online.
