Linda has always been a busy person. Between taking care of her kids, managing her high-demand job, and making time for her friends, finding time to care for her mental health had never been easy.
As someone with persistent depressive disorder, making this time was essential. Thankfully, Linda found the perfect solution. Every Wednesday at 5 pm, while her kids were at swim practice, she closed out of her work email, clicked on a secure link, and started her weekly video call session with her therapist.
At first, Linda was skeptical of meeting with a therapist online. She was worried that it wouldn’t be as effective as traditional therapy. But after her first session, she realized that she was still receiving the same compassionate care. The difference was that she didn’t have to worry about driving to an office.
Finding the care you need can be tricky. Finding mental health services that suit your lifestyle can be even harder. That’s why at Thriveworks in Grand Prairie, TX, we’re proud to offer online therapy and counseling to make getting the help you need more accessible than ever.

Receiving these services can often be life-changing, which is why we offer them online. Online therapy provides benefits such as:
- Increased accessibility: Online mental health services make therapy and counseling more accessible for a wider range of people. You can meet with online therapists and counselors without having a counseling center near your house — this lets people access professional counseling and therapy no matter where they live.
- Increased reliability: Since you don’t have to drive to an office, you can meet with your counselor or therapist from nearly anywhere. That means bad weather, traffic, or a work trip won’t force you to cancel a session that you want to attend.
- Added comfort: For some people, the idea of going to a strange place to talk about their thoughts and feelings is scary. Connecting with your counselor through video chats or phone calls means that your sessions can be held where you’re most comfortable, whether that be on your bed, at the dining room table, or even in your car.
Studies show that online therapy and counseling can be just as effective as traditional therapy, so you won’t be trading convenience for effectiveness when working with an online provider from Thriveworks Counseling in Grand Prairie, TX.
What To Expect: Online Counseling Sessions
You can work with a therapist or counselor through phone calls or video chats. But how does it work? It’s actually pretty simple.
For those speaking over the phone, your licensed counselor or therapist will call you at your scheduled session time. All you have to do is pick up your phone. For anyone meeting with their counselor via video chat, you’ll be sent a secure link by email. Clicking the link will take you to a video call where you and your counselor can speak face-to-face.
If you’re participating in group counseling, such as family therapy or relationship therapy, everyone will receive their own link to the session.
