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.

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.

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 Abingdon, VA accept most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session.

Should I Try Online Counseling?

There are many reasons to try online counseling. With the outbreak of the coronavirus, the most immediate reason might be that of safety. Other reasons include:

  1. It’s convenient: Why travel to the counseling office when you can sit curled up on your couch for the same value? Online counseling is about streamlining the counseling process by taking out the travel and waiting room time.
  2. It’s comfortable: Let’s go back to that couch. You have your coffee and your blankets. Maybe a pet is curled up by your feet or the kids are playing in the next room. Dinner is on the stove, ready to eat after your appointment. It can be a lot easier to open up in this comfortable environment. The quicker you open up the quicker you will heal and grow.
  3. It’s reliable: With online therapy, you don’t have to worry about bad weather or congested traffic. The online counseling appointment is more likely to start on time and be more fulfilling
  4. It’s affordable: Online counseling is covered by most insurance. Thriveworks Bristol, VA also offers affordable self-pay options.
  5. It’s flexible: Some counselors specialize in trauma. Others specialize in LGBTQ issues. Some only see adults and some only see children. The most successful counseling happens when you find a perfect counselor match. Online counseling expands your search by untethering you from your immediate proximity.

There are many other reasons to try online therapy. It’s different for every person and it is important to find what works for you.

I highly recommend Trish! She is very helpful, kind, compassionate and excellent at getting down to the roots of the problem. I have made more progress with her than I have with multiple therapists in several different cities. P.S--EMDR therapy sounds totally crazy, but it has significantly helped me. Give it a try!

Dr Mike Pilcher took me under his wing and coached me through one of the biggest decisions of my life...opening a new business. At one point...well more than once...I felt like pulling my hair out and his calm demeanor and no BS approach really helped me get focused and confident. I was able to really pour on the steam and my business is doing well as a result. Dr. P is a great counselor and a man I respect. Call him...I still do to this day.
