Molly:
My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is to first spend time getting to know their strengths, values, and vision for a meaningful life and identifying where there are discrepancies between that and their current situation. I enjoy assisting people in making changes to their thoughts, behaviors, and boundaries to cultivate the life they want.
Robin:
My go-to approach to helping people in online therapy is CBT. I find the best benefit in challenging thoughts because “what we tell ourselves is what we'll believe.”
Molly: I teach the following tools in online therapy:
Robin: I teach the following tools in online therapy:
Molly:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they begin to report that they are thinking about things in a different way or pushing themself to behave in new ways. I also use measurable methods such as questionnaires about the frequency and intensity of symptoms.
Robin:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they can admit that a thought or behavior needs to change and then actively change it.
Molly:
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by creating mini-goals after each session to put something they took away from that session into action.
Robin:
A client can supplement their time in online therapy by reading self-help books, listening to podcasts, journaling, meditating, and doing yoga, just to name a few.
Molly:
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can ensure that you create the time to prioritize yourself, make sure you have a comfortable and private location, and identify the issues you are experiencing and how you want your life to be different.
Robin:
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can remain calm and speak truthfully during the session.
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.
Because of uncertainties and drastic changes in life that we face, many of us are finding ourselves worried, stressed, anxious, and fearful about what is coming next. As people, we have the capability to anticipate situations and plan out ahead of time what we are going to do. This ability to think ahead is what spurs us to go to the store and buy two weeks of groceries. It is what makes us sure we have enough medicine for ourselves and our family to last us during a possible quarantine. This same ability is also what leads us to think about all the possible things that can go wrong or that might happen to us, causing us to feel anxious and scared.
Excessive worrying not only strains our mental health, it can trigger physical symptoms as well, such as inability to sleep, tightness in the chest, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, fatigue, and muscle tension. It is totally normal to feel worried, but if you are experiencing excessive worry, reach out to Thriveworks Charlotte for help. We can get you an online counseling therapy appointment quickly for anxiety as well as other challenges, including depression, relationship issues, and more.
Today, there are many ways to meet with a mental health provider. At Thriveworks, we offer both in-person and online counseling, the latter of which takes place over video. This allows our clients to meet with their therapist from the safety and comfort of home, with the added benefit of saving time by not having to travel to one of our offices.
Even if you aren’t great with technology, you will find it’s simple to establish a video counseling session by just clicking on the meeting link that will be sent to your email ahead of your scheduled session.
Don’t worry – you will still be getting the same quality of service that Thriveworks is known for in online counseling. Multiple research studies have found that distance counseling is comparable in effectiveness to face-to-face sessions, and it works well for many different groups of people, including children, adults, and adolescents of all backgrounds and cultures.
Telehealth services are covered by most insurances and are compliant with HIPAA regulations. Remember, your mental wellbeing is just as important as your physical wellbeing in staying healthy.
Thriveworks is excited for the chance to work with you and to show you the true benefits of online counseling. In addition to offering convenient online therapy, we offer evening and weekend sessions, provide same-week appointments to new clients, and accept most major insurances.
