Have you been going through a difficult time lately? Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or another mental disorder? Do you feel like you need to talk to someone about your issues but are afraid of being judged by your friends or family? You aren’t alone.
Many mental health issues are highly treatable under the guidance of a trained therapist, but some people never take the first step to give treatment a chance. Perhaps you know you could use professional help from a counselor or therapist but the idea of sitting face-to-face with a stranger in an office is daunting. Or maybe life just keeps getting in the way and you find it difficult to make the time for regular therapy sessions.
For these reasons and more, online therapy has become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional therapy in an office environment. All you need to do is pick up your phone or open a video chat to speak with a licensed online therapist from the comfort of your home.
You don’t have to hide your mental health struggles or wrestle with them yourself. Our team of online therapists is here to help at Thriveworks Counseling in San Bernardino, CA.
What Types of Therapy Are Offered Online?
The basis of many mental health treatments is called talk therapy, a process by which a client speaks openly with their therapist about fears, personal issues, emotions, and daily experiences. As long as you have a quiet space and are willing to be honest with yourself and your mental health professional, you can experience the power of therapy wherever you are.
For this reason, many clients find online therapy to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Some of Thriveworks’ most common online therapy services include:
- Depression therapy and anxiety therapy
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Marriage counseling and couples therapy
- Life coaching and career counseling
- PTSD counseling and trauma therapy
- Grief and loss counseling
- Family therapy and child therapy
- Stress and anger management
- Eating disorder therapy
If you’ve been putting off seeking help for a certain disorder or crisis, you don’t have to any longer. With online therapy from Thriveworks Counseling in San Bernardino, CA, it’s easier than ever to make your mental health a priority without leaving home.
How Does Online Therapy Work?
Whether you are a tech wizard or incredibly uncomfortable with technology, we are here to ensure a stress-free online therapy experience. All you need to do is pick between phone calls and video chats and you’re ready to begin speaking with a licensed mental health professional.
Phone therapy is a great option for those who find it intimidating to speak to someone face-to-face about their personal issues. Phone calls may also be preferable if you don’t have a strong video connection or want to remain mobile during your therapy session.
However, video appointments may be preferable for those who are already accustomed to app-based communication and want to be able to see their therapist. Eye contact may help you build a trusting relationship with your therapist who will also have the benefit of being able to more easily read your body language.
Finding a therapist can be difficult if you live in a remote area or lack reliable transportation. Physical disabilities or illnesses can also prevent people from accessing essential mental health services. For many people, it is simply easier to integrate therapy into their lives when it’s done comfortably and conveniently from their home.
If you think you would benefit from online therapy services, don’t hesitate to contact Thriveworks Counseling in San Bernardino, CA to get started.
