When providing online therapy, I use modified versions of the same approaches to counseling that I would use when providing counseling in the office. I start by seeking to understand what the client's concerns are and learning about the client's experiences. Then I will use a variety of approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing to address the client's concerns and meet their individual goals.
Some of the tools that I often teach in online therapy include:
I find that clients are making meaningful progress in online therapy when they continue to report increasing, maintain progress on their personal goals, express increased life satisfaction.
Clients can best supplement their time in online therapy by setting aside time between sessions for reflection and time to practice the skills discussed in the session. I often encourage clients doing online therapy to designate 5 to 10 minutes before and after their sessions to prepare for and process their sessions before returning to their daily activities.
To prepare for your first online session, I would encourage you to consider the following:
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. 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.
When was the last time you checked in with yourself mentally? Today? Last week? Last month? Last year?
While we don’t always open up about how we’re feeling, we do all experience a range of emotions on a weekly or even daily basis. Maybe a car cut you off on the way to work this morning and it made you angry. Perhaps you’re dreading going home because the chores you need to get done are overwhelming. Maybe you’re waiting for your partner to get dinner with you later so you can talk about why you’ve been bickering a lot more recently. This list could go on forever. The takeaway is that we all encounter emotional struggles and mental health challenges that negatively affect our welling.
Fortunately, we’re able to learn how to manage these difficult emotions and situations to preserve our mental wellbeing. Ask yourself how you’re really doing. Is there anything you’d like to change, improve on, or overcome? Counselors, therapists, and psychologists all have unique skills, training, and experience to help people with all of these problems.
Being vulnerable is actually a strength and not a weakness—that’s why more and more mental health is such an important thing to talk about. It’s the same as being physically sick. And when you keep all those things inside, when you bottle them up, it makes you ill.” – Cara Delevigne
