What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Child Therapy, we offer:
- Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors (LCMHCs): Trained to provide mental health counseling.
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?
At Thriveworks, we take 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 (for both in-person and online sessions) depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.
Does Therapy Work? What to Expect
Whether or not you’ve worked with a mental health professional before, you may have some reservations. Deciding to pursue therapy isn’t always an easy choice. You might be worried about getting emotional, letting out the things eating you up inside, or even just being vulnerable. However, we want you to know that pursuing professional help is a strong decision and a step in the right direction. You’re making a smart choice by choosing to work with one of our Thriveworks professionals.
When you begin working with one of our psychiatric providers or counselors, they will assess what’s going on in your life and what assistance you might need. They will then create a customized plan of action based on your needs, goals, and concerns. This will allow you to gain the most from your time at Thriveworks and be set up to move forward with confidence.
During your time in therapy, you could work on things like:
- Communication skills
- Problem-solving techniques
- Coping mechanisms
- Trust building
- Stress management
Ultimately, your provider will work to help you live the life that makes you happy, supports your mental health and well-being, and enables you to thrive.
