Starting Online therapy

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?

Our Thriveworks therapists at Thriveworks in Paramus, NJ accept most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

The stresses and challenges of everyday life can quickly take a toll on both the mind and spirit. Consider the single parent struggling to raise her children and working full time. Or the student juggling a long distance relationship, a full course load, and high anxiety about their future career path. Or the grandparents, newly retired, facing physical illness and intimacy issues.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your own struggles or are fed up with trying to handle them on your own, Thriveworks Counseling may be a great next step. Therapy can help you heal past traumas, resolve relationship issues and deal with important life decisions. In short, it can help you regain a sense of balance and happiness in your life.

Online counseling options are on the rise and make the most sense for many working professionals and busy parents. The convenience of online sessions eliminates the drive time for commuters and accommodates those who may otherwise be unable to attend in-person appointments. Plus, online counseling can help newcomers feel more at ease as they get started from the comfort of their own.

If you’re feeling “stuck” in your life and are ready to make a change, consider making an appointment with Thriveworks in Paramus, NJ. Online counseling services may be the best gift you can give yourself this year.

What Types of Therapy are Offered Online?

Traditional therapy sessions and online mental health services offer many of the same benefits. However, there are certain instances when someone may not be able to pursue traditional therapy sessions in an office, at least at the onset.

Perhaps they don’t feel comfortable meeting in-person with a licensed mental health professional and need some time to warm up to the idea of counseling. Or maybe they may have scheduling conflicts because they have children or an on-the-clock job that makes in-person therapy appointments less convenient.

Whatever the reason, our licensed counselors in Paramus realize that flexibility is such a significant part of seeking therapy, so we are happy to offer online counseling services that cover a range of mental health needs, such as:

  • Marriage counseling and couples therapy
  • Depression therapy and anxiety therapy
  • Family therapy and child therapy
  • PTSD counseling and trauma therapy
  • Grief and loss counseling
  • Teen counseling

If you’ve been thinking about seeking therapy but can’t seem to make it work in your schedule, online counseling may be a great option for you.

How does online therapy work?

Digital technology has transformed the way individuals receive mental health therapy. Instead of only relying on face-to-face appointments, our Paramus counselors are available by video chat, phone calls, email, and text message when you need to talk.

The length of an online therapy session will depend on your unique needs and your counselor’s recommendations for treatment. You can schedule regular meetings with one of our online therapists similar to traditional therapy, which typically range between 45 to 60 minutes per session, but you can also access our online counselors during the week or weekend if you need additional support.

Our Paramus therapists  treat mental health issues as effectively online as they could face-to-face, especially as it pertains to depression, social anxiety, panic disorders, couples counseling, and so on. When you schedule an appointment on our website or by phone (more on that below), you can choose which counselor you’d like to meet with, as well as how you’d like to meet with them — online, in person, or a combination of both.

Having multiple options for therapy services is what makes Thriveworks so unique. You can finally have control over your mental health journey with our flexible and convenient approach to care.

Talisha Harrison helped me by giving me the tools to help me navigate some difficult relationships. I also appreciate how kind, sensitive, and empathetic she was as I have been grieving a recent loss of a parent. I have also been recovering from a serious medical condition. Should I feel the need to seek counseling in the future, I would not hesitate to return to counseling with Talisha.

So far it's OK. I say ok because there is a big age difference between the therapist and myself. Maybe by 25yrs or so.

My therapist is Lesley Petersen and I have been a patient of hers for about four months now. She has been helping me through a stressful situation that I have been going through. I would recommend her because she is easy to talk to and non-judgmental.
