Online therapy FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mrs. Thomas was very welcoming and clear, providing a nice clarity in what I should expect and what I can potentially gain from therapy. While also delivering clear boundaries for what can be shared and what will be reported.

Ella Bradford is amazing and has helped me so much. I look forward to our weekly sessions and she is the only person who I can tell all my issues to and she helps me by talking through them all so they can be understood and we can work through it together. She is a lifesaver to me and she has helped me beyond anything I could have imagined in a therapist. I feel like she is a gift that keeps on giving .

I see Ella Bradford every week. She has insights into my needs and is compassionate and a life saver to me. I feel so privileged to have her as my therapist. She even takes the time to send me articles to my email after our sessions that are pertinent to our discussions that we had and they are so pertinent to me and helpful and to think she takes the time to do this for me, makes me beyond grateful . She is an asset to your team and a God send to me. There isn’t a subject or issue I do not feel comfortable discussing with her. Thank you for selecting her as my therapist. I’m blessed because of it.
