What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My approach for online therapy is to first establish a good rapport with the clients. I welcome questions along the way, and especially in intake let them know they can share what they are comfortable with and to respect their boundaries.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I work with clients while providing psychoeducation and teaching skills development, breathing exercises, mindfulness, grounding techniques, guided imagery, journaling exercises, and worksheets.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy?

I know clients are making meaningful progress in therapy when they are gaining more insight into their issues, start catching themselves with old thinking and problem solving patterns. Also when they discuss how they are starting to feel like themselves again, starting to do more tasks (job, home), as well as show increased motivation for some of their fun activities again.

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

Clients can do many things in their personal time to supplement therapy. They can supplement their time between sessions by working on some of the exercises and techniques reviewed with them in sessions. Journaling is good as well—reflecting on issues that are being worked on in therapy, gratitude journals, daily journaling, art, journaling about a specific interest or activity (travel, cooking, hiking)—can all be beneficial. Other activities like taking a walk out in nature or hanging out with friends is also good. Practicing self-compassion and letting yourself just be and to get plenty of rest is also helpful.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for your first therapy session, you can write down a list of questions and concerns to discuss. This can include current stressors in your life, past issues/events that have occurred that you may want to address, as well as current symptoms and how long you have been experiencing them. Of course, you will want to think about what you want to work on while in therapy, as well as what goals you want to strive for.

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.

This is prior to being seen so this is strictly based on first impressions upon entering the building. The waiting area is nice but undefined as to where one should go nor any indications as to what is needed to be done. No one was there to greet us nor was there any desk or window to suggest someone would. We looked for the therapist's office but no doors had any identification to point us in the right direction. At this point we're at the mercy of the clock alerting the therapist to seek us out in the waiting area in order to be seen. Not the best first impression. I will update this review if and when we are seen.
