Online therapy FAQs

What is online 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.

How does online therapy work?

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.

What is the best option for online therapy?

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.

Is online therapy just as effective?

Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.

How long does online therapy last?

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.

How much does online therapy cost?

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.

Need more help deciding?

Counseling is a powerful passage for exploring and improving your mental health. It can help you better understand your emotions, including how to cope, manage, and communicate these feelings; it can help you better resolve arguments with your loved ones as well as other relationship issues; it can help you better manage stress and eliminate certain unnecessary stressors from your life; it can help you work through and understand any symptoms of depression, anxiety, or another mental illness; it can help you accomplish many different goals, of which ultimately enable you to live a happier, more successful life.

That’s the goal here at Thriveworks Mississippi: We want to help people live happy, successful lives. And we tackle this mission by setting people up with skilled, caring mental health professionals who can help their clients with their unique challenges. Now, Thriveworks Mississippi also helps people live better by offering additional counseling benefits, including flexible online counseling opportunities.

We’ve seen a need for online counseling, which offers greater convenience and comfort in counseling, without sacrificing the many benefits that one receives in working with a mental health counselor. That’s why we function entirely online and offer both telephone counseling and video counseling options at Thriveworks Mississippi. If you’re interested in working with an online counselor, contact our office. We’ll be happy to assist you.

Which Online Counseling Option Is Right for Me?

Both telephone counseling and video therapy are viable options if you’re wanting to start online counseling. Now, you might prefer one over the other, depending on what your specific needs and inclinations are. For example, telephone counseling might be the better option for you if you’d like a greater level of anonymity in counseling. If, however, you like that face-to-face interaction that you can get in video therapy, this might be the better option for you. If you just aren’t sure, that’s okay too. You are more than welcome to give both a try at Thriveworks Mississippi Counseling.

Now, here’s a little bit about each, so that you can make an informed decision on which online counseling option you’d like to try first:

  • Telephone counseling: Telephone counseling is probably just as you imagine it. You’ll simply talk to your counselor over the phone, rather than coming into the office for your appointment. They will call you at the time of your scheduled session! Make sure you have access to a phone and service or internet—you’re all set!
  • Video counseling: Video counseling is also rather simple and straightforward. Instead of going into the office or talking to your counselor over the phone, you’ll meet with them over video chat. They will send you a secure video link when you schedule your session. Then, at the time of your session, you’ll simply click that link to enter the video chat room! Make sure you have access to a computer or another device as well as reliable internet connection.

If you’re ready to schedule an appointment for telephone or video counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Mississippi Counseling today. We’re ready for you.

What Exactly Can I Accomplish in Online Counseling?

Think of everything that you can accomplish with a counselor. Earlier, we listed a few goals that you can achieve in counseling including:

  • Better understanding and working through emotions
  • Resolving arguments and other relationship issues
  • Managing and eliminating stress
  • Working through and understanding symptoms of mental illness

There are many other goals you can achieve with the help and support of a counselor, too. Keep in mind that the counselors at Thriveworks Mississippi Counseling create a personalized treatment plan for every client they work with. This means that they determine what will best help someone only after getting to know them and what their needs are.

The counselors at Thriveworks Mississippi Counseling are more than happy and ready to help you. If you’ve determined a need or even just an interest in working with a counselor, we’d love to talk with you.

★★★★☆
I really appreciated how safe, patient, and supportive the therapist was throughout the process. After years of traditional talk therapy, EMDR has felt different in a positive way. It's helping me process things on a deeper level, even though it sometimes brings up difficult memories and emotions between sessions. I feel like I'm making meaningful progress, and I'm grateful for the care and guidance I've received. At this time, I don't have any suggestions for improvement and would recommend the experience to others
