Online therapy FAQs

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.

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.

★★★★★
I very much appreciate the humanity aspect. The actual care for the person and not just prescribing meds and upping doses. The last couple weeks have been difficult in my home life, so we made the decision to not increase any meds until that stabilizes as to not overdo it and have unintended consequences.
