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 , LA 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?

While we don’t always open up about how we’re feeling, we do all experience a range of emotions on a daily basis. We might feel angry one day and then sad the next; we might feel disappointed or defeated after a tough conversation with a loved one; we might feel unmotivated or unenthusiastic about going to work. This list could go on virtually forever. The takeaway is that we all encounter emotional struggles as well as other mental health challenges that threaten our wellbeing.

Fortunately, we can learn to manage these emotional and mental challenges, with the help of a mental health counselor. Counselors, therapists, and psychologists all have unique skills, experience, training, and specialties that enable them to help people with these varying problems.

Give yourself a break. Stop beating yourself up. Everyone makes mistakes,

has setbacks and failures. You don’t come with a book on how to get it right

all the time. You will fail sometimes, not because you planned to, but simply

because you’re human. Failure is a part of creating a great life.”

–Les Brown

Explore the Benefits of Online Counseling at Thriveworks Louisiana

Why is online counseling important? Why is it so popular? Because there are many benefits that one can find in online counseling that aren’t promised in in-person counseling. Consider:

  1. You can always count on having your session. When it comes to in-person counseling, there are certain elements that might get in your way of attending your counseling session week by week. For example, poor weather conditions or sudden fever might cause you to reschedule. In online counseling, though, these elements don’t have to prevent you from having your scheduled session. Now, if you do have to reschedule or cancel for whatever reason, you of course still have the option!
  2. You can look forward to utmost comfort. Another perk of online counseling is just how comfortable it is. We mean physically, mentally, and emotionally! Let’s start with physically. Because online counseling is conducted in a virtual environment, you can attend from wherever you can take your phone or computer with you. All you need is device and internet access. Now, mentally and emotionally: Many people also find that it’s easier to open up from a distance, which means quicker or even greater progress than one might achieve in in-person counseling.
  3. You can enjoy greater convenience. You don’t have to worry about rushing to your appointment, in online counseling. Think about it: How many times have you had to hurry to your appointment or been worried you wouldn’t make it in time? (This goes for any appointment, not just counseling.) Well say goodbye to the rushing and the worrying. Online counseling makes counseling more convenient than ever before.

We truly believe that online counseling is a great option for many people looking for mental health help. And often, clients will find additional benefits, which will depend on what they’re looking to get out of counseling. To explore and experience the benefits of online counseling, get started now.

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.
