My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is TEAM cognitive behavioral therapy. I find the best benefit in this approach because it is structured, goal-oriented, and leads to rapid change.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when their scores improve. I engage in measurement-based care. There will be a survey at the beginning and end of every session to help measure progress. If you are making progress, it will be reflected in the numbers.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with psychotherapy homework. One of the main ideas of TEAM CBT is that psychotherapy homework is non-negotiable. If you want change in your life, then you will take what is discussed inside weekly therapy and apply it on your own without the help of the therapist. Psychotherapy homework ranges from additional reading to assist with learning new ways to think and behave, practicing new communication skills, and self-analysis of your own thoughts and emotions.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make sure you have somewhere private where you can focus and hopefully not be disturbed. In addition, do your research on types of therapy. There are as many modalities of therapy as flavors of ice cream. You don't want one bad experience to ruin the entire experience. Make sure you find an approach where you have room to express yourself and can work to achieve your goals.
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.
Online counseling is a valuable mental health service that is gaining traction. Though it’s been around for decades, it has evolved and its value is being realized by people all over the world. Online therapy got its start as mental health hotlines and online mental health discussion boards. Today, it includes individualized help from a licensed, caring professional. So, if you think you could benefit from a mental health professional’s skills, tools, experience, and training, consider online counseling.

Online therapy is an effective, valuable mental health service. Research shows that people of all backgrounds have found benefits in online counseling. These individuals find that video counseling allows them to make progress with a therapist, just as they would in in-person counseling. On that same note, some people find that they’re able to make even more progress in online counseling because they feel more comfortable or even less stressed. That said, some people do find that they prefer in-person counseling, and that’s quite alright too.
