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?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Do you want to work with an online therapist or counselor? Call our office today at Thriveworks Counseling in Bellingham, WA. Our scheduling specialists will help you find an appointment time that works for you.

What Types of Therapy and Counseling Are Offered Online?

Online therapy is very similar to in-person, traditional therapy. Instead of talking to your licensed therapist or counselor face-to-face, you’ll speak with them over the phone or through a video session. Other than that, the process is largely the same. You’ll receive the same standard of care that you’d get if you met your provider in person.

There are many different services offered in online therapy, including:

  • Depression and anxiety therapy
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) therapy
  • Couples and marriage counseling
  • Child, teen, and adolescent therapy
  • LGBTQ+ counseling
  • Grief or loss counseling
  • Life or career coaching
  • Substance abuse therapy
  • Eating disorder counseling

No matter what type of therapy you’re looking for, you can rest assured you’ll get the same compassion and care with our online appointments as you would in person. Your licensed mental health professional will spend time during your first session getting to know you, your mental health history, and your goals.

They’ll use this session as a guide to create a personalized treatment plan. They’ll implement your plan over the course of future sessions –– you may discuss any sources of stress in your life, learn how to manage any mental health-related symptoms, and talk about how to reach your goals.

Anyone can benefit from checking in on their mental health. If you want to speak with one of our licensed professionals, call our office today at Thriveworks Counseling in Bellingham, WA.

Why Our Clients Love Online Therapy

Online therapy sessions are very popular for a few main reasons, including:

  • Increased convenience: There are a lot of things that can get in the way of face-to-face therapy or counseling. Maybe you have a busy schedule or there isn’t an office nearby. Online therapy removes a lot of these roadblocks and helps you find a time for mental health care without having to step foot outside your home.
  • Increased comfort: The therapeutic process can be more effective when you’re comfortable. Therapy or counseling involves guided conversations with your mental health provider, so the things you talk about in your sessions will guide your treatment. Many of our clients feel more comfortable working with a remote provider and can open up about their lives more easily.
