My general approach for people in online therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy. I find it particularly helpful for anxiety and depression because it introduces new perspectives that allow people to get unstuck from their thoughts.
While it depends on what the goals and focus of therapy are, I teach tools like reframing thoughts, emotional regulation, communication skills, self-care, and mindfulness.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy when they recognize what they are doing differently in day-to-day life and how it is positively affecting them.
Clients can supplement their time in therapy with workbooks or reading on a topic. It can be a great way to get more information, another perspective, and ideas or concerns you want to bring to individual therapy.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can reflect on what your goals are in coming to therapy: what symptoms are interfering with daily life, what you want to work on, and what you would like to learn about. Also, make sure you have a private space to meet with internet where you won't be interrupted.
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.
There’s no denying that life comes with twists and turns we don’t quite know how to navigate. These twists and turns can come in the form of a mental illness, the loss of a loved one, issues in our most important relationships, and a lack of success in our career. The good news is that a little help, guidance, and support can help us conquer these obstacles and stay on the right path.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.”
–Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
