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.

Common Excuses for Avoiding Therapy and How Online Counseling Can Help
Seeing a therapist for the first time can sometimes feel intimidating. It’s an unfamiliar environment and you don’t know what to expect. Will the sessions be difficult? Will they be effective? Will the therapist like me? It’s not unusual for people to come up with numerous excuses for avoiding getting the professional help they need to overcome their obstacles in life. For example:
- I don’t have time to see a therapist.I’m too busy with work and/or my kids. At Thriveworks in Conroe, TX, we understand this concern very well. That’s why online counseling can help meet the needs of busy parents and professionals.

You may not even need to take time off work.
