What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

Often in therapy, I encourage clients to think and act in ways that will help support a change in how they feel. I encourage my clients to “experiment” with new ways of acting and thinking to find health and happiness.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I teach a variety of tools in therapy. Often we focus on:

  • Emotional self-regulation
  • Communication skills
  • Setting boundaries
  • Fair fighting rules
  • Helpful self-talk

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

I often know a client is making progress not when they are happy, but they are calmer in their struggles with life and feeling the courage to try new things. Also, I usually see progress when a client puts their own needs first.

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

A great deal of therapy does not happen in session. Therapy happens when the client tries new “experiments” on how to deal with the real world. The client’s time with me is often a planning session for these new efforts.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for your first online session, make sure you have a very good connection and can meet in privacy. Too many online sessions are interrupted by in-laws and “lag.” We want you to get the most out of therapy, so allow yourself the space and time to do the work. Therapy always starts with a discussion of where the client has been. Clients are often eager to tell about the troubles they have had in life, but clients should be prepared to discuss where they want to go and what they want to achieve.

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. 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 love that she’s attentive , and you can tell she cares. I feel I will be able to learn better coping skills as a patient of Dr. Smith. I’ve been in therapy on and off for years cause I never felt like the therapist cared. She cares.

having the opportunity to gain trust and reassurance to straight up drop my overfilled emotional dumpster of emotional problems on someone who is willing to listen means so much to me when it comes to being a weekly regular. Also having that small fridge in the lobby is pretty cool because theres always options on sodas too which is definitely casually enjoyable. the environment in the lobby is always very calming less like a waiting room and more like a save room to catch my breath from trying to rush to not be late for my appointments. id like to add how important it is to have a consistent therapist as well, i grew up with therapists here and there consistently swapping in and out before and always had to start from scratch with life events that resulted in me just giving up trying to get therapy let alone care enough to open up to get anyone to understand me. which ultimately lead me up to who i am today as for my current therapist, id say its really comfy and reassuring knowing someone who understands where the life story is so far as my events and experiences are kept track of to see my progress of personal development. its very important understanding and fleshing out details of my issues and life events with my therapist to learn different perspectives from a zoomed out scale to comprehend and dissect aspects of the "why's and what next steps" to aim for a healthy direction on what level of momentum is needed for my next personal quests and self development, its not just a sit down and pour my heart out session and pay a fee whatever but its more of a metaphorical way of expressing how i can put my own psychological puzzle together and where pieces go and what pieces are needed to complete the puzzle. being real with yall i felt like an absolute mess of emotions like an overfilled dumpster of problems when i first started going to sessions, thriveworks helped me realize im not the metaphorical dumpster of emotional problems but rather to BE the dump truck driver taking on the ambitious goal of needing to haul off the dumpster and dispose of my emotional problems in a clean safe efficient way to make sure i dont let my problems overfill and fester more health hazards for myself and others. Id say i wouldnt be where i am without thriveworks and including a shoutout to my therapist Mr.Luebben for being incredible at listening and helping with the exhausting amount of excessive problems ive endured within my life. From the consistency, care and comfort, to the sodas in the lobby id recommend thriveworks to anybody who crosses my path when they need as much help as i did.

Jim has been a great therapist for me. Initially I was going to speak to him on my first visit about changing to a female therapist. He was so easy to talk to that the idea of that flew right out the window.
