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 Westborough, MA 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.

Need more help deciding?

Thriveworks Westborough has embarked on an important mission, that is helping people in the Worcester community live better. We all struggle in some way, shape or form—be it with a mental illness, relationship trouble, family drama, low self-esteem, grief and loss. And often, we can better manage these problems with the help of a professional counselor or therapist.

One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it

means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.”

–Linda Poindexter

We understand that scheduling an appointment with a therapist isn’t always easy, due to the judgment you fear or the lack of accessibility. Fortunately, there is a solution to both of these problems at Thriveworks Westborough, MA. If you’re looking for Worcester therapy, consider working with a Thriveworks Westborough online therapist. Online therapy means that you can attend your therapy sessions online; this provides greater convenience, flexibility, and it allows you to remain anonymous, if you so choose.

Worcester Therapy: What Is Online Therapy Counseling?

Online counseling is the convenient alternative to in-person counseling. While some people don’t have a problem making it to their weekly sessions, others do. Online therapy—otherwise called internet counseling, cyber counseling, and teletherapy—is the answer to this problem. If you choose to work with your therapist online, you’ll have several options to choose from including:

  • Phone counseling
  • Videoconference counseling
  • Email/text message therapy

All of these options have proven effective. Now, you might choose phone counseling or videoconference counseling if you value that therapeutic connection and want to meet with your therapist for a set amount of time. However, if you’re looking for a more casual, flexible experience in therapy, the latter might be the right online counseling option for you.

What Are Online Therapy Benefits?

Online therapy counseling is beneficial to many different people who are in search of mental health services. This option can prove especially valuable to those who have a jam-packed schedule or those who are simply looking for therapy they can attend with greater ease. Let’s explore these online therapy benefits farther:

  1. Convenience and flexibility: Online therapy makes working with a therapist or counselor convenient. You don’t have to worry about shuffling your schedule to fit in a day-time appointment. Instead, you can add a therapy appointment to your schedule with ease, as you can attend from wherever you need and you have more scheduling options available to you.
  2. Effectiveness: Don’t worry. You are not in any way sacrificing the success you would find in in-person counseling. Evidence shows that online counseling is effective. In fact, it could prove more effective than in-person counseling, especially if you don’t feel comfortable opening up your therapist in person.
  3. Reliability: Last but not least, online therapy offers reliability. While sickness, bad weather, and physical disabilities might put you at risk of missing your in-person therapy appointment, these external factors will not hinder your ability to make it to your online therapy appointment.

For the past year my mental, emotional and physical health has been restored. By God's providence, I connected with a psychiatric nurse practitioner at your agency. She skillfully assessed my situation and quickly prescribed much needed medication. I was at an all time low. Because of her expertise, compassion, and support, my life was renewed. So incredibly grateful to have my life back again.

It was very difficult getting my account up. I believe that happens because when we initially signed up i made the account but it’s under my spouse insurance. After fixing the problem my not his account reflects our current therapy sessions. We get emails and text but when we sign into the thrivework accounts we can’t see the billing cycle to pay or see out upcoming session. Neither one of our accounts display update and current account information. And we have called a few times to get it right and it’s not working . My therapist and agency is splendid
