What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is very similar to my in-person approach, still using the integrated approach. The integrated approach looks at the individual holistically and uses different tools or techniques from a variety of approaches. I prefer this method because it is very personalized to each unique person.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I teach the following tools in online therapy:

  • Progressive muscle relaxation, where I lead them through a guided relaxation exercise from the comfort of their own home
  • Educational videos (through online therapy) to better explain things like empathy vs. sympathy or how anxiety affects the brain's thought process

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they are able to share their own progress and success stories, no matter how small or large, each time they come back.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement online therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by practicing their own personal reflections daily (as easy as checking in with themselves at the end of the day).

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make sure you have a quiet and comfortable well-lit place before you begin online. This can bring peace to your mind and help you focus more on what's happening in sessions rather than what's going on around you.

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.
