What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is CBT. I prefer this because it helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and learn practical strategies to improve their quality of life.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I teach the following tools in online therapy:

  • Relaxation skills: Relaxation techniques, including various breathing techniques, guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and body scan.
  • Thought-stopping: Identifying negative, anxious, or unhelpful thoughts and having a helpful tool, such as a band around their wrist, to control the thought process when triggered.
  • Positive self-statements: Learning positive affirmations with the aid of an app, such as “I Am,” and beginning to write them on their own. Find ones that they identify strongly with and use sticky notes to have them around to see daily.

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 doing the homework and are engaged in the therapeutic process.

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

Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by doing homework sent via email or practicing skills they have learned in sessions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make a list of goals for change.

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?

Our Thriveworks therapists at Thriveworks in Cypress, TX accept most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

You may be in a situation that’s leaving you with unpleasant and disruptive emotions. But instead of holding what you’re feeling inside, it can be relieving to open up. Through online therapy, you can release the tension you’re holding and confide in a mental health professional who cares. Reach out to Thriveworks Cypress today to schedule your first appointment and begin experiencing the benefits of online counseling.

Why Should I See an Online Therapist?

You may wish to seek an online therapist’s assistance if you feel like you’re struggling with what could be a mental health condition. It’s important to note though—no one’s mental health needs are quite the same, and symptoms of mental health conditions can often vary.

With that in mind, our therapists commonly assist everyday people with many different situations and mental health symptoms, including: 

  • Family dynamic issues
  • Relationship or marriage problems
  • Child or teen behavioral issues
  • Anxiety, or racing thoughts
