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 speicifc needs and with wom 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.

How much does online therapy cost?

Our Thriveworks therapists at Thriveworks in Rochester, MN accept most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

Evelyn has always been a quiet child. With no siblings and no cousins nearby, most of her interactions have been with her parents. When family friends try to talk to her outside of her home, she hides behind her mom and dad, unable to communicate even though she’s spoken to these same family friends over dinners and holidays at home.

At first, her parents assumed this behavior was normal shyness. But now that Evelyn has started pre-K, her condition has gotten worse. Her teacher tells her parents that Evelyn doesn’t talk to the other children even as she plays right alongside them.

Concerned, her parents decide to pursue counseling. They set up an appointment with an online counselor who compassionately addresses their child’s selective mutism and creates a treatment plan to get her back on track.

If you have difficulty communicating in unfamiliar spaces, online therapy can provide a comfortable and safe space to discuss issues with a licensed professional. But there are lots of reasons to consider online therapy, including increased comfort, accessibility, and flexibility.

You’ll receive the same kind of care you’d receive from an in-person therapist but with the convenience of doing so from home or another nearby space. Consider scheduling an appointment with us at Thriveworks in Rochester, MN if the benefits of virtual therapy sound right for you. We can get started on your treatment as soon as you’d like.

Video or Phone Call — Which Should I Choose?

Virtual therapy allows you to personalize your communication method because you can choose between a video chat or phone call. If you would like to see your therapist and create an experience similar to the one you would have face-to-face, you may decide to choose video calling. If you’re in a room where video calling would be difficult, or you prefer the flexibility of being mobile, you may decide to speak to your provider over the phone instead.

To begin your video call, you’ll click on a link during your scheduled appointment time. To begin your phone session, simply wait for your provider to call you during your appointment time.

There are other benefits to virtual counseling besides selecting your communication method. These benefits include the following:

  • Increased comfort, as you can speak to your counselor, psychologist, or another provider from your home, office, or any other location of your choice.
  • Increased accessibility, as you don’t have to commute to see your provider. This is especially useful if you live in a rural area or have limited mobility. It’s also helpful for couples and families who would like to seek counseling but are not in the same location.
  • Increased flexibility, as you can fit in your appointment in a smaller time slot since you don’t have to go to a physical office. Many clients schedule their appointments during their lunch breaks or in between meetings.

With these and other benefits, choosing online therapy can prove to be the perfect choice for individuals with busy schedules. To set up your appointment, please call or book online with Thriveworks in Rochester, MN.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
