The tools used in online therapy mirror tools that would be shared in an in-person session. Tools may include:
A client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they show growth in shifting negative thoughts and implementing healthy coping strategies.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by practicing the coping skills discussed, engaging in emotional expression exercises such as journaling, and practicing shifting negative thoughts or beliefs.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, find a quiet, private place where you can focus with no interruptions. It is also helpful to be prepared with the goals you would like to accomplish in therapy. The process is successful when the client and the therapist partner together to address the client's concerns.
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.
