Many people decide not to visit the doctor, the dentist, or a counselor, because scheduling and attending the appointment is inconvenient. For example:
- Finding a convenient time to go to the office feels impossible
- Taking time off of work is impossible or not a good idea
- Traveling to and from the office takes too much time and hassle
Fortunately, in 2020, telehealth is available for many of these services, including counseling services. If you are interested in working with a counselor but you haven’t been able to do so conveniently, consider online therapy.
Online therapy removes or lessens these obstacles and makes scheduling as well as attending counseling more convenient. On top of convenience, online counseling services also offer more flexibility. Clients can schedule an appointment immediately and meet with their provider more quickly.
These individuals also don’t have to worry about taking time off of work for their counseling session because evening and weekend appointments are often available. And, of course, the commute is eliminated with telehealth sessions, too.
If you’d like to work with a counselor or psychologist, but you haven’t followed through due to inconvenience or lack of flexibility, online counseling is the solution to your problems. This is a convenient and comfortable way to work with a mental health professional.
Thriveworks Counseling in Reno, NV offers online therapy and we can connect you with an online therapist right away. Call us today to get started and begin experiencing all of the premium counseling benefits we have to offer.
Online Therapy Options: How Does It Work?
If you decide to pursue services at Thriveworks Counseling in Reno, NV, there will be online therapy options available to you. We offer two primary means of communicating with your provider virtually: by phone and video.
Both telephone and video sessions enable one to make progress with their licensed mental health professional. However, some people prefer one over the other, either from the get-go or later in their journey.
If you’re unsure if you’d like to attend telephone or video sessions, read more about these two options here:
- Telephone sessions: Telephone sessions are perhaps the easiest way to meet with a mental health professional. You simply answer your provider’s call at your scheduled appointment time.
- Video sessions: Video sessions are another easy option, but they do require you to have more advanced technology that allows you to attend a videoconference. This is perhaps the better option for people who would like to talk to their provider “face-to-face.”
Telephone and video sessions are easy, convenient, and effective. Thriveworks is happy to offer both options, and we can get you scheduled for your first telephone or video session now. Just call us to speak with our scheduling team.
What Services Are Offered Online?
The one big difference between in-person and online counseling is the environment in which you meet with them. Obviously, with in-person therapy, you meet with your counselor in-person, but with online therapy, you meet with them in a virtual setting instead.
You can make meaningful progress with your provider either way. Here are a few services that we can offer both in-person and online:
- Couples therapy and marriage counseling
- Depression therapy
- Therapy for anxiety
- Family therapy
- Grief and loss counseling
- Trauma and PTSD counseling
- Anger counseling
- Stress management counseling
We are able to offer these services and more, in-person and in a virtual setting. If you are in need of mental health help, please reach out to us. You don’t have to suffer in silence or isolation, we have providers who can help.
