Starting Online therapy in Philadelphia

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.

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.

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.
