Starting Online therapy

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.

Is online therapy just as effective?

Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.

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. 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.

Jaclyn creates a safe space for you to let your guard down. She goes at your pace. She challenges you in love. She asks what you need, and it's up to you to communicate that need. She makes herself available. And, you never feel like a bother.

In person sessions are valuable. The office environment and happy lobby space make a big difference in the experience. Our therapist has amazing recall and memory. She can often link past statements to current situations. She does have an expansive view of the big picture. She also helps prepare us for what is happening, what may be happening and how best to be prepared. This has been a frightening experience and having our Thriveworks therapist in our toolbox helps us navigate these unknown waters. It helps us move forward knowing she is on our team.
