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.
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.
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.
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.
Have you recently developed symptoms of depression? Are you going through a major life change? Are you struggling to manage your stress? Do you and your partner argue too often? Is there something going on in your life that is affecting your mental health? If so, you should consider working with a professional therapist, counselor, or psychologist. There is no reason to feel like you have to tackle the trials and tribulations of life all on your own. These professionals are trained to help you through even the most difficult times.
The advice I’d give to somebody that’s silently struggling is, you don’t have to live that way. You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people that you can get the help that you need.”
—Demi Lovato
As Demi Lovato said above, you can benefit greatly from opening up and expressing your feelings with a professional. While your friends and family can provide you with support and assistance during your difficult times, professional counselors can provide you with added tools and skills to overcome your obstacles. If you are looking for a reliable, compassionate online counselor in Rhode Island, consider working with Thriveworks.
