My main approach for online therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) while mixing in the person-centered approach of warmth and non-judgment. I prefer this approach because of the focus on thoughts, feelings, and actions, and the combo of creating a warm and supportive environment for the client and clinician to work together.
I typically teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when the client is feeling better overall, reports better moods, has fewer negative thoughts, develops and uses coping skills, has more energy, is able to make progress on their goals and objectives for therapy, etc.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with bibliotherapy, finding positive social groups, volunteering, starting hobbies, working on their overall purpose in life, exercising, etc.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can list out your strengths and weaknesses, build a list of coping skills that you already use for negative emotions, journal about what you want to work on in counseling, etc.
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.
