My go to approach for helping people in online counseling is convenience, comfort and paper free. I prefer the benefit in this approach because it allows a person to meet at a time that works best for them, in a comfortable location and allows for the virtual transfer of information in a quick and secure manner.
A reliable internet connection and operational microphone and video camera are the primary tools that are unique from in-person therapy. I provide the following tools in online counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online counseling when they are achieving measurable objectives in route to their goal. Therapists generally rely on SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time Limited) goals. When we can specifically identify what needs to occur to know that a goal is being met then we are better able to measure progress!
Clients can supplement their time in online counseling by practicing skills learned in therapy, ensuring that their therapeutic goals align with area of need, completing homework assignments, identifying and providing topics for session as well as identifying and disclosing meaningful events and if unsure asking.
To prepare for your first online counseling session, you can schedule your appointment at a time when you will not be interrupted. Prepare for your appointment by finishing paperwork in advance, ensure that you have a stable connection and microphone and camera work. It is helpful to bring a notebook and writing device for note taking. Plan to discuss your current issue, history and goals. Try to be as transparent when discussing intention and issues and ask questions on things you are unsure about.
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.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could attend your therapy appointment from home? Guess what, you can!

I cannot stand the words, ‘Get over it.’ All of us are under
such pressure to put our problems in the past tense. Slow down.
Don’t allow other to hurry your healing. It is a process, one that
may take years, occasionally, even a lifetime—and that’s okay.”
