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.
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.
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.

What Is Online Therapy?
Online therapy is meant to be a more convenient approach to therapy. Many people struggle to find the time to drive to their therapy appointment, sit through their 60-90 minute session, and then drive back home, when they already have a busy schedule. If you choose to work with an online therapist, you can do so via video chat at Thriveworks.
Benefits of Online Therapy: Convenience and Comfort
If you aren’t familiar with online therapy, you’re probably wondering what the benefits are and why someone would choose online therapy over in-person therapy. The truth is that some people can’t find a way to fit another appointment into their schedule—but when they have the option to attend their session online, they can! Convenience is a huge factor for many people when it comes to scheduling therapy and one major reason to choose online therapy over your traditional therapy session.
Additionally, online therapy offers a level of comfort that many do not experience in in-person therapy. With online therapy, one can attend from the comfort of their home or anywhere else they feel comfortable. Also, these individuals feel more comfortable on a mental and emotional level working with a therapist online. They find that it’s easier to open up and achieve their desired outcomes.
