Liv hasn’t talked to her best friend, Theresa, in over a month after an intense argument. Even though she’d like to reach out and try to connect, she feels like the distance between them is too great. Ever since, she’s been stuck wondering how to resolve the situation. After doing some thinking, she’s considering whether or not to seek out a mental health professional to help mediate and guide them as they talk things out.
Even though she’s anxious about talking to a provider, she’s feeling open to the support and insight that they can provide. Plus, she’s interested in online counseling, as a way to connect with her friend from home or between breaks at work. While talking to a provider is definitely something new, Liv wants to preserve the relationship that she has with Theresa, and she knows that a mental health professional can help them do that.

Consider the Benefits of Online Psychiatry
Some of our clients find a lot of benefit from our online psychiatry services. With virtual sessions at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Chicago, it’s easier than ever to get the care you need to better manage and mitigate the symptoms of persistent mental health issues. Psychiatrists are a type of mental health professional and are set apart from other providers by being able to:
- Prescribe helpful medication to assist clients with their symptoms.
- Use their background as a medical doctor to treat more severe or persistent types of mental illness.
Psychiatrists are generally the best choice for those dealing with mood or behavioral disorders like ADHD or depression. When you see a psychiatrist online, you’ll be able to:
- Connect with your psychiatrist from home, your office, or anywhere that has reliable internet and a private space to chat
- Receive the same quality care that you would from an in-person session
- Still make time for your own needs if you’re watching the kids or elderly loved ones
- Get the mental health care you need, even if you suffer from mobility issues or chronic health conditions
- Rest assured, knowing that Thriveworks online services still follow the strictest guidelines from the APA and HIPAA
