It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. We run through the motions, hurrying to and from work, wrestling with bills, cranking out chores, and getting in some time for friends, family, and/or pleasure when we can. But where and when do we make time for ourselves? Where is the self-care, the stress management, the therapeutic practices that keep us sane?
For many people, the answer is, “I work it in when I can,” or even, “I’m fine without it.” But in reality, it’s important that we prioritize these practices that benefit our mental health and overall wellbeing—one practice being working with a therapist. We understand that fitting a therapy session into your schedule might sound impossible. But Thriveworks North Charleston, SC has an option for you to consider: online therapy counseling.
Online counseling allows you to work with a therapist via online means. You can choose to attend your session via telephone, video chat, or even email. You pick the option that is the most convenient for you, and we’ll do the rest. If you’re interested in online therapy at Thriveworks North Charleston, SC (or another form of therapy), just give us a call. We’ll be here to get you scheduled or talk with you about your options.
North Charleston Counseling: What Is Online Therapy?
As we just mentioned, people struggle to fit everything they need to fit into their schedules. And often, therapy gets pushed to the backburner because of this problem. Well, online therapy is the solution. You don’t have to worry about going out of your way to make it to the therapy office to attend your appointment. Instead, you can work with your therapist online! Here are your online therapy options:
- Work with an online therapist via telephone: One option is to work with your therapist over the phone. Just as with in-person therapy, you will schedule an exact day, time, and timeslot, to work with your therapist. Just make sure you’re able to answer their call when the time comes!
- Work with an online therapist via video chat: Another option is to work with your online therapist in a videoconference or video chat. Again, you will set a day, time, and amount of time to work with your therapist. And again, you’ll have to make sure that you’re available to jump into the video chat when the time comes (this, of course, requires Wi-Fi or service).
- Work with an online therapist via email: A third option is for those looking for a more casual therapy option. Email therapy is done via email or chat widget and involves messaging your therapist back and forth over a flexible timeframe.
Do any of the above online therapy options sound like they would work for you and your schedule? Call Thriveworks North Charleston, SC to schedule your appointment or hear more about it.
