Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Krystal: My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is to meaningfully connect with clients by not only navigating what had led them to seek support, but also being mindful of how telehealth therapy can feel intimidating to some.
Christian: My go-to approach depends on your needs. I am most confident in cognitive behavioral therapy, the Gottman method, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Krystal: I teach the following tools in online therapy:
Christian: I teach cognitive behavioral health, coping skills, self-acceptance, and more.
Krystal: I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when he/she comes consistently to sessions and not only demonstrates the skills learned during the session but can recount having successfully used them outside of the session as well.
Christian: I know a client is making meaningful progress when their symptoms begin to resolve and they feel they are working toward goals.
Krystal: Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with worksheets, workbooks, and resources found online that address their specific treatment concerns.
Christian: You can supplement therapy by doing anything that promotes your goals and taking care of yourself.
Krystal: To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can familiarize yourself with the online format and be open to the idea that therapy can be just as rewarding and effective outside an office setting as it is in person.
Christian: Come open, honest, and ready for unwavering support.
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.
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.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
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.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
