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?

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.

5 Reasons to Try Online Counseling

If you’re debating whether online therapy is right for you, consider the following reasons to try online counseling:

  1. It’s convenient and comfortable: Regardless of where you live—in the country, the city, or the suburbs—it’s very likely that you spend more time getting to and from your appointment than you do in the actual appointment itself. Online therapy addresses this problem by allowing you to save time and work with your therapist from home. This means optimal convenience and comfort, too.
  2. It’s tested and true: Did you know that online therapy counseling is not a new service? It’s actually been around as early as the 1950s with a mental health hotline. Then, in the 1980s, the first online self-help group was created. Now today, you can enjoy a variety of online counseling services including self-help groups, mental health discussion boards, and one-on-one time with a licensed therapist.
  3. It’s affordable: Also, an important note is that online counseling is an affordable therapy option, too. In fact, more and more insurance plans now cover online counseling. If yours doesn’t, though, that’s okay. Thriveworks in Raleigh, NC has affordable self-pay options.
  4. It’s quick: With a traditional in-person therapy appointment, you might have to wait a few days or weeks for your first appointment. This is not the case when it comes to online counseling. Online counseling allows you to book a session right away, often even the same day!
  5. It’s easy: Even though we do our best to reassure clients that this is not a place to fear judgment, many clients struggle to open up and worry about what their therapist will think of them. Fortunately, they find that it’s possible for them to open up to a therapist online instead.

In a nutshell, online therapy is a convenient, comfortable, effective, and affordable option. On top of all that, you can schedule your appointment with ease—and potentially open up to your therapist more easily. If you’re interested in meeting with an online therapist at Thriveworks Counseling, let us know. We can get you all set up today.
