Answers to common questions about therapy in Pennsylvania

Online Counseling and Coaching in Pennsylvania—Video and Telephone Options

Counseling helps people manage stress, anger, and other difficult emotions. It helps people talk to their partners, friends, family members about tough subjects. It helps people understand, manage, and recover from mental health conditions like depression and PTSD. Coaching, on the other hand, helps people make informed decisions in their careers. It helps people understand what areas of life are lacking in terms of happiness and fulfillment. It helps people make important changes in their personal lives that lead to greater success.

Counseling and coaching are two important mental health services that help people live better. Both counseling and coaching can help you address and work through existing problems, as well as identify other areas that might need your attention.

If you’d like to make these improvements in your own life, consider talking to a mental health professional online at Thriveworks Counseling. We have counselors, therapists, psychologists, and coaches on our team in Pennsylvania, and they are available to help you conveniently online. You can choose to work with your provider over the phone or video. They’re happy to accommodate whichever you prefer.

Online Counseling: A Simple, Effective Alternative to In-Person Counseling

Online counseling is just like it sounds: It’s working with a counselor, or another mental health professional, online. This is a simple, effective alternative to in-person counseling, which is the traditional approach. Here at Thriveworks Counseling, we offer two options for online counseling: telephone and video. You can choose whichever option you’d prefer to engage in; both prove effective for clients!

Some people have reservations about beginning online counseling, out of concern that it won’t prove as beneficial or valuable as the traditional in-person approach. In reality, though, online counseling is an effective alternative to in-person counseling, as we touched on above. So, if you’re intrigued by the idea of working with a mental health professional, don’t let this concern stop you. See for yourself just how helpful online counseling can prove.

What Can I Accomplish in Online Counseling?

Remember, the primary difference between online and in-person counseling is that the former is conducted in a virtual environment. As we’ve said many times, online counseling can prove just as helpful as the conventional approach. That means that it can help you address a range of challenges and accomplish many different goals! For example, you might learn to…

  • Better manage stress in stress management counseling
  • Work through your marital issues in marriage counseling
  • Address and heal from traumatic experiences in trauma therapy
  • Resolve conflicts with family members in family therapy
  • Gain closure after a tough loss in grief counseling
  • Better manage your depression symptoms in depression therapy
  • Get to the bottom of your anxiety in anxiety therapy

The possibilities are endless. Your potential is limitless. If you see a need for working with a mental health professional or you’d like to explore the benefits, consider scheduling an online counseling appointment. The online counselors can help you achieve the above as well as many other goals, too. Our providers are happy to help you address issues you’ve identified and explore other areas of your life that might benefit from some changes, too.

Amanda is always understanding and helping; she's showed me so many things about myself that I didn't know. And I always leave feeling better on the outlook of so many things !

Providers listened to my concerns and personal experiences before making a final decision about treatment. They made me feel like they were taking my opinions seriously and into account regarding my treatment. Providers also allow me to express my comfort level with a treatment and are willing to make adjustments accordingly, such as increasing medication more incrementally or at a slower pace. This has been particularly helpful for me since I respond to medications a lot more with stronger side effects than most people. Having some control over the dose and pace has been very helpful for my management of changes I experience from the medication. Providers are not judgmental, gently discourage problems, and really help identify the root of issues, which allows us to work on the actual problem to promote real healing instead of just secondary symptom management.

Communication via text is great. Set up is easy and Desiree is amazing! . Unless therapist assigns the pre anxiety survey, maybe stop sending it. Not a big deal though.
