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 Attleboro, 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?

Counseling and therapy services are becoming more widespread, as people continue to prioritize their mental health and reach out for the mental health help they need, when they need it. Unfortunately, sometimes certain obstacles stand in our way of obtaining these services, be it the cost or lack of scheduling flexibility (on our end or the counseling practice’s end). Fortunately, online counseling at Thriveworks Attleboro, MA addresses many of these obstacles and improves access to mental health services.

Online counseling, or virtual counseling, is simple: Instead of coming to the office to meet with your counselor, you do so over the phone or video chat. This is a great alternative to in-person counseling, especially for those who are looking for a convenient and affordable option. If you’re interested in exploring counseling by phone or video, reach out to Thriveworks Attleboro. We are happy to get you set up with online counseling services, whether you choose phone counseling or video counseling. Either way, our counselors will be here to help you via the virtual medium of your choosing. Call us today to schedule your appointment.

How Do I Meet with an Online Counselor?

If you’ve decided to pursue online counseling or you’re interested in online counseling benefits, you are in the right place. Online counseling at Thriveworks Attleboro, MA is simple and beneficial. You’ll get to choose between two virtual counseling options: these include video counseling and telephone counseling. Here’s how each works:

  1. Video counseling: This option more closely resembles in-person counseling than telephone counseling, as you still get the face-to-face feel in video counseling. You’ll simply click a link that your counselor sends you to gain access to your unique, secure virtual videoconference.
  2. Telephone counseling: Telephone counseling is another popular and effective online counseling option. Instead of meeting with your counselor in-person or over video, you simply work with them over the phone. They’ll call you at the agreed upon appointment time.

“Which online counseling options should I choose?” If you’re unsure whether you want to pursue video counseling or telephone counseling, rest assured that you are welcome to experiment. In other words, if you choose video counseling but then decide that you’d prefer to meet with your counselor over the phone, we can accommodate you here at Thriveworks Attleboro.

  • Comfort
  • Convenience
  • Flexibility
  • Security
  • Safety
  • Affordability
