I believe the beauty of therapy is that it blends thoughts and emotions in a healthy way to grow into a better version of oneself.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience in clinical assessment, case management, and therapy services. I specialize in working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, behavioral challenges, depression, and anxiety. I am passionate about enhancing client outcomes through innovative therapy techniques and compassionate care, while creating safe and supportive spaces for healing and growth.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is open communication and honest feedback. I find this creates the best possible outcome for clients in reaching their goals.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they begin to challenge old habits/behaviors/thoughts that are keeping them “stuck.”
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with a number of options including self-care and utilization of tools given in therapy sessions.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can create a bullet point list of goals you would like to achieve in therapy, as well as keep an open mind on how to reach those goals.
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.

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.

He and his brother Chris have been inseparable since they were little—and last month when Chris passed away, John was left struggling to cope with the pain.
