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 Virginia Beach, VA 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.

7 Reasons to Give Online Counseling a Try

Online therapy counseling proves to be an effective option for many people looking for mental health services. If you’re looking for a qualified counselor nearby, you can find the right skills and expertise in an online counselor at Thriveworks Virginia Beach. Here are 7 reasons why you should give online counseling a try:

  1. It offers utmost convenience: As you probably could have guessed, online counseling is the most convenient option for many, maybe even most people. It allows you to attend your counseling appointments conveniently form wherever you happen to be or wherever you prefer.
  2. It’s a comfortable option, too! If you want to, you can attend counseling from the comfort of your home, your car, or the cozy coffee shop down the street. Your counselor wants you to be as comfortable as possible.
  3. It’s proven effective: Online counseling is effective, too. Research shows that working with an online counselor is effective. You are not sacrificing any progress you would make in in-person counseling. (On that note: If you find that online counseling isn’t right for you, that’s okay too!)
  4. It’s an affordable option: Don’t worry, online counseling isn’t more expensive than your traditional therapy options. In fact, you’ll probably be glad to know that online counseling is now covered by most major insurance plans. Additionally, Thriveworks Virginia Beach has affordable options for you.
  5. It might be easier for you to open up: Because you aren’t sitting face-to-face with your counselor, you might feel more comfortable opening up! Remember, you’re capable of making the same progress in online counseling as you are in in-person counseling. If you prove to feel more comfortable opening up over the phone or via videoconference, you might even find more progress than you expected.
  6. It comes with greater flexibility: It’s likely that you will find greater flexibility in scheduling your online counseling appointment than you would scheduling an in-person counseling appointment, too. Due to its convenience, your therapist will likely have greater availability.
  7. It’s reliable: Finally, online counseling offers reliability, which is priceless. You don’t have to worry about having to reschedule or cancel your appointment (at least not on a regular basis) because you don’t have to worry about the many external factors that get in the way of in-person counseling sessions like traffic!

 These are all great reasons to consider working with an online therapist versus an in-person therapist. If you want to explore the benefits of online counseling with one of our providers, reach out to Thriveworks Virginia Beach today.
