My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is the exact same as in person. Online therapy can seem daunting or different at first, but I find if you treat it the same as in-person therapy, then it can help increase your comfort levels. It also allows you the benefit of less stress, with no need to “get somewhere on time” — your time and work are still worth it, and you can still have a positive therapy experience in online therapy.
Once again, the tools I teach within online therapy are the same as those that I teach in person; there are few things that I provide in my in-person therapy sessions that aren't beneficial in my online therapy sessions. Sometimes, it can be easier to quickly pull up some information to better support or inform something being said or taught within an online session.
I think a client's continued engagement is a sign of their progress, maybe more so in online therapy than in-person therapy. Sometimes, it can feel harder to disengage in person than when there is a screen between us, so when a client continues to positively engage, it shows they are giving therapy the thought and effort it deserves.
A client can supplement their time in online therapy by doing the “homework” given within the session. There is also a wealth of knowledge out there that a client can view on their own, but they are always encouraged to discuss it with the therapist, especially if they have questions about something.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, just try to treat it no differently than if you were in the room with your therapist. If you can blur that line, then you will have no problem being just as effective with online therapy as you would with in-person therapy.
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.
Have you ever attended a telehealth appointment? Doctor’s appointments are now offered online and allow patients to talk to their doctor without having to travel to the office. Many people find these telehealth options to be helpful, as they can’t or don’t always want to leave their house (especially if they aren’t feeling well).
In much the same way, counseling appointments are now offered online and allow clients to talk to their provider without having to travel to the office! Many people find these online options to be helpful, effective, and beneficial. Again, they can’t or don’t always want to leave the house (especially if they’re feeling down). Additionally, some find that opening up to their provider is much easier to do in an online environment.
Being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure. –Bob Marley
