As a licensed professional counselor (LPC), my go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is through the therapeutic relationship and establishing a sense of connection through positive regard, active listening, and reflective listening without judgment in a safe space. Online therapy can be very effective and beneficial for various reasons, because it makes therapy more accessible while also being convenient for the client's needs overall.
As an LPC, I teach the following tools in online therapy: coping skills, mindfulness techniques, self-awareness, changing one's narrative, reframing thoughts, etc.
As an LPC, I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they verbalize they are feeling/doing/thinking/living better on a consistent basis, when they meet their overall goals for therapy, etc.
Clients can continue their work and supplement their time in therapy with specific homework/projects/assignments that have been agreed upon, \ reading a recommended book, writing in their journal to help process their thoughts and feelings between sessions, etc.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can check your internet connection to ensure there are no connectivity issues, update your Zoom, write a list of questions you may have, make a list of medications you are taking currently and the dosages, etc.
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.

Online counseling is a way for you to meet with a professional counselor without leaving your home. Also known as cyber counseling, teletherapy, e-counseling, or e-therapy, online counseling can be great for people whose situation prevents them from meeting in-person with a counselor on a regular basis.
