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.

Mental Health Issues Addressed in Online Counseling

You might be wondering, “Can online counseling help me with my mental health issues?” The answer is most likely yes. The only true major difference between in-person and online counseling is that with the latter, you meet with your therapist in a virtual environment. You are still able to have important (yet tough) conversations, which is the catalyst for change. 

To be more specific, online counseling can help people with a wide variety of mental health issues, including:

  • Symptoms of depression or anxiety
  • Relationship issues, like infidelity or parenting disagreements
  • Family conflicts, like misbehavior in a child
  • Addiction and substance abuse problems
  • Eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia
  • Stress, anger, and other difficult emotions
  • Traumatic experiences
  • Grief and loss

These are common mental health issues that many people, like you and I, will experience in our lifetime. That said, there are other problems that online counselors can help their clients with. If you are struggling with any given challenge that is hurting or threatening your mental and emotional health, please don’t hesitate to reach out to an online therapist.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
