As a mother of teenagers and a 20 year resident of the Johns Creek/Duluth community, I know that expectations for families around here are high and wanting our children to be successful is important but can often lead to high levels of anxiety, depression and burnout both for the kids and for the parents.

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.

How much does online therapy cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Need more help deciding?

We all have bad days where it feels like everything and everyone is working against us. We’re overwhelmed with troubling emotions from plain sadness to anger, frustration, stress, guilt, regret. The thing is that we can’t completely eliminate these emotions from our lives; nor can we ensure that we won’t encounter another bump in the road. What we can do is have a plan of attack for these difficult emotions and life’s many obstacles. In other words, we can benefit from having a plan for managing.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.”

–Aristotle Onassis

Consider making therapy or counseling part of your plan of attack. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and life coaches are dedicated to helping people live better. And they’ve shown this dedication with the time they’ve put toward acquiring the proper skills, training, and experience to help their clients. A mental health professional can help you in every area and every season of life—so long as you let them.

If you are looking for Forsyth therapy, you’ve come to the right place. Thriveworks Cumming, GA has therapists, counselors, and other professionals on staff who can help you process and manage your emotions as well as the challenges you come across. Additionally, you can choose to work with them here at our office or from the comfort and convenience of your own home. That’s right—Thriveworks Cumming, GA in Forsyth County offers online therapy. And we can get you scheduled with an online counselor as soon as today or tomorrow. Just call (770) 224-7008.

Can Online Therapy Help Me? Online Therapy Benefits

If you’re exploring the mental health services available to you and deciding which one might best help you, consider online counseling. Online therapy is the convenient alternative to in-person counseling. However, if the face-to-face aspect is important to you, be sure to choose the videoconference option (which we’ll talk more about later). The truth is that you probably won’t know whether online therapy is right for you until you give it a try. The good news is there’s no harm done here. We’re confident you will find online therapy beneficial. And if you do, you can always return to or begin in-person therapy at Thriveworks Cumming instead.

As we just touched one, we feel confident that you will experience and enjoy the many benefits of online therapy. Many of our clients do! Here are several benefits that keep people happy in online therapy counseling:

  • Comfortability
  • Convenience
  • Flexibility
  • Affordability
  • Effectiveness

In summary, many people choose to forego in-person counseling and work with their therapist online instead because it is the most comfortable, convenience, flexible, affordable, and effective option for them. It’s important to note that online therapy is a tested and true therapy option that allows people to conduct meaningful work with their counselors.

What Kind of Online Therapy Is Right for Me?

Remember how we mentioned the videoconference option earlier? This is one of several online therapy options. In addition, you can choose to work with your online counselor over the phone or email. If you choose to attend via videoconference, you and your therapist will select a day and time to meet and then you’ll simply answer their video call or join the video chat room as agreed. The same is true with phone counseling, only you’ll attend your session by answering your phone versus a video call.

Now if you choose the latter approach to online therapy, you’ll have a more relaxed experience in counseling. Instead of working with your therapist or counselor for a set 60-90 minutes, you’ll send emails back and forth over a more flexible time period. In any case, Thriveworks Cumming, GA in Forsyth has you covered.

Mental health is a profession that requires high integrity and strong moral character. Mental health professionals must demonstrate the ability to make sound moral decisions for themselves and for their clients. Having known and work with Cynthia Armstrong for nine years I can unquestionably say that she possess and consistently exercise these qualities. She is an exceptional and loyal team member that is always eager to provide support and share professional knowledge with peers. She is always reliable, responsible and extremely respectable. Ms. Armstrong patient and practitioner relationships are based upon therapeutic alliances. Her professional knowledge, competence and skills as paramount as she is constantly abreast of current treatment modalities through continuing educations and training.

I have worked with Nichole for about two years and experienced the impact she has had on peoples lives. Such a kind person, and really makes you feel comfortable and non-judged. It’s hard to find someone who you are comfortable talking to and just being a co-worker of hers, I found myself looking forward to our talks.
