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.

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.

Is online therapy just as effective?

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.

Need more help deciding?

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. We run through the motions, hurrying to and from work, wrestling with bills, cranking out chores, and getting in some time for friends, family, and/or pleasure when we can. But where and when do we make time for ourselves? Where is the self-care, the stress management, the therapeutic practices that keep us sane?

For many people, the answer is, “I work it in when I can,” or even, “I’m fine without it.” But in reality, it’s important that we prioritize these practices that benefit our mental health and overall wellbeing—one practice being working with a therapist. We understand that fitting a therapy session into your schedule might sound impossible. But Thriveworks North Charleston, SC has an option for you to consider: online therapy counseling.

North Charleston Counseling: What Is Online Therapy?

Well, online therapy is the solution. You don’t have to worry about going out of your way to make it to the therapy office to attend your appointment. Instead, you can work with your therapist online! Here are your online therapy options:

  2. Work with an online therapist via video chat: Another option is to work with your online therapist in a videoconference or video chat. Again, you will set a day, time, and amount of time to work with your therapist. And again, you’ll have to make sure that you’re available to jump into the video chat when the time comes (this, of course, requires Wi-Fi or service).
  3. Work with an online therapist via email: A third option is for those looking for a more casual therapy option. Email therapy is done via email or chat widget and involves messaging your therapist back and forth over a flexible timeframe.
