Starting Online therapy in Shreveport

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?

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?

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.

Andrew is amazing. He listens very well and even though I talk really fast and throw a lot of information at him, he is very tentative, thoughtful and takes as many notes as possible. I'm very excited for my next session!

Ella Bradford is my therapist and I could not be any more blessed and fortunate. She is amazing and there was a connection from the start with us. I look forward to our sessions together because there is not anything that I won't share with her. She has worked me through so many of my issues and continues to give her all to me to help me alleviate and improve my anxiety, depression and self destructive behavior. Many times she will email me with these enlightening articles that are relevant to our time together that day. I was overwhelmed that she would take the time to do this . I read them through and then we discuss what I have read at the next session. I have had other therapists and there is not one that has helped me as well as Ella. It is a gift to me that I am fortunate enough to have been teamed up with her. There is something to be said when you have a therapist that you can tell everything to and especially information that I have never shared with any one else. It is therapeutic and I look forward to our scheduled times together because it is very special when I can discuss any issue, problem, embarrassment, or past destructive behavior and she gets me through all of it.
