My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is motivational interviewing. I find this to be the best fit because it allows me to meet the client where they are and it can be tailored to many needs. It can be invasive or toned down. Additionally, while I have an eclectic style overall, motivational interviewing helps us create movement which typically leads to increased motivation and retention.
I teach the following tools in online therapy: breathwork, tapping, compassionate self-talk, thought reframing, sleep hygiene, coping skills, grounding, and mindfulness to name a few.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they begin to speak about themselves differently. Perhaps they began treatment putting themselves down or making impulsive decisions and feeling hopeless. When this shifts, I know they are using the skills we have talked about.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with meditation, being outdoors, increasing connection with others, podcasts or books, and practicing coping and grounding skills.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make sure you have the meeting link and platform downloaded. You can also write down why you are seeking therapy, any goals you may have, what you are and are not looking for in a therapist, and any questions you may have.
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.

…so many people live in shame, hiding their struggles, not seeking help.
We, as a culture, have not fully acknowledged how much help is needed.
The only real shame is on us for not being willing to speak openly. For
continuing to deny that mental health is related to our overall health.
We need to start talking, and we need to start now.”
–Oprah Winfrey
