My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is to build a strong therapeutic rapport. I find the best benefit in building rapport because it allows the client to feel safe to express feelings.
I teach the following tools in online therapy: expressing emotions, communication skills, healthy coping skills, and reframing negative thoughts.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when the client reports accomplishing the goals they set at the beginning of therapy.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy through journaling, support groups, bibliotherapy, and practicing healthy coping skills.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can create a list of goals you would like to accomplish with 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.
Sometimes, the circumstances we find ourselves in require us to reach out for a little help and support. Mental health professionals have the right skills, training, and experience to guide us in these endeavors and achieve optimal living.
Anything that’s human is mentionable and anything that is
mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our
feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.”
–Fred Rogers
