What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

As an LCSW, my go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is meeting them where they actually are, not where I think they should be. I work from the humanistic theory and utilize an integrative approach to fit the client's needs. This includes mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MBCT), schema, strength-based therapy, Adlerian therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, existential therapy, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), positive psychotherapy, coaching, internal family systems (IFS) therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), exposure response prevention (ERP), solution-focused therapy, and interpersonal therapy.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I teach the following tools in online therapy: developing self-awareness and self-compassion, setting attainable goals for behavioral change, challenging negative thoughts/self-talk, exploring healthy coping strategies that work for the individual, and growing beyond the client's comfortable but unhelpful patterns.

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 demonstrate a deeper understanding of their thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and they start incorporating the learned skills without being prompted.

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

Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by tending to the pillars of mental health: physical needs (sleep, nutrition, exercise), mental and spiritual self-care, and fostering social supports. I also encourage mindfulness, meditation, and journaling.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for your first therapy session, you can come up with a sentence or two that summarizes what you are looking for in treatment. Be prepared to answer a bunch of questions as I learn about you and gather background info for the intake assessment. I ask that clients commit to at least 3 months of weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Other than that, strap yourself in, be open-minded and willing to do the work, and trust the therapeutic process!

Starting Online therapy in Henrico

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.

I'd recommend thrive works because of Latoya Smith. She's extremely knowledgeable and how to support her client with life's journey. She's very kind and compassionate. She also can empathize with the client. Those qualities make her a wonderful therapist. I highly recommend Latoya to anyone who needs a great counselor.

I just love my therapist, Latoya. Our session begins with a calming, meditative exercise which is perfect. Latoya's demeanor is professional, supportive and empathetic. She listens intently, asks pertinent questions, validates responses and provides positive, impactful comments with additional open-ended questions to spark ideas for moving forward. I come away from the sessions emotionally exhausted because the issues can be heavy, but I am also energized to move forward taking charge of my life, examining feelings and emotions in healthy ways, realizing 'I am enough', and filling my cup full to overflowing in order to inspire those around me. My sessions with Latoya every other week are a win/win, and I will be continuing them for some time because the benefits are immeasurable. Thank you for being here for me!

Ashley was fantastic. I appreciated that she actively listened, asked engaging and relevant questions, was relatable, and just overall gave me a great impression of therapy after my first session. I know therapy has helped so many people but I just didn't want to take that first step and when I finally did, it was absolutely worth it. I obviously don't feel 'cured' but this first session really gave me hope that I am going to be okay and things are going to workout. I felt like I was on the come down for the first time in a long time and was able to relax just a little bit afterwards. I liked how it was a mix of all of the emotions coming out too, laughing, crying, and normal conversation. I really look forward to working with her.
