What Is Online Therapy?

Online counseling is just as it sounds: it’s working with online therapists, or as some call them “internet therapists”. Instead of meeting with a therapist or counselor in-person, you have online therapy sessions. There are different ways to get therapy online, including:

• Phone therapy: One option for online therapy is working with your therapist on the phone. Your therapist would simply call you at a scheduled time and you would have your session over the phone.
• Video therapy: This is virtually the same as phone therapy—you’ll set up a day and time to work with your therapist in a video session.
• Email therapy (or via chat): With email therapy, your therapist can help you via email. Instead of occurring at a scheduled time, this typically occurs over an extended period of time, just as emailing with or texting with a friend occurs over an extended period of time.

Online therapy is a great option for many people, such as those who don’t want to meet with their therapist in person, as well as those who don’t have the time to meet with their therapist in person. In the same breath, some people simply prefer online therapy counseling to in-person therapy because it’s more convenient. We’ll dive into these benefits below.

What Are the Benefits of Online Therapy?

As we mentioned above, online mental health therapy is a smart and convenient option for many people. There are several benefits to working with online therapists (or internet therapists), including:

1. It’s convenient: For some people, it’s inconvenient and frustrating getting to their therapy appointment, due to their busy schedule or the traffic they hit along the way. Online therapy directly addresses this issue by allowing people to attend online therapy sessions.
2. It’s more comfortable: In addition to being convenient, online therapy is also more comfortable for many people—in the literal and figurative sense. You can attend your online therapy session from your couch or even in bed. Also, many people feel more comfortable mentally and emotionally meeting with their therapist online versus in-person.
3. It’s affordable: Many major insurance plans cover mental health services, including online therapy. Here at Thriveworks, we work with most major insurance plans and strive to offer affordable rates, to best help our clients.
4. It’s flexible: Additionally, online therapy comes with a level of flexibility that most healthcare does not. You can quickly schedule an appointment because online therapy is so flexible and convenient, due to the fact that it’s conducted through the devices right in front of you and at the tips of your fingers.
5. It’s effective: Last but not least, online therapy is effective. While it might not be the traditional approach to therapy, it’s just as effective as in-person therapy for many people.
