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 Stockton, CA 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?

Online therapy is one of our most popular mental health services. Our clients choose it for a lot of different reasons, but one common factor remains the same: Whoever you are, online therapy is simply one of the easiest ways to prioritize your mental health. Without compromising your busy schedule, you can meet with an online therapist or counselor from anywhere, as long as you have internet access and somewhere private to talk. 

Even though online therapy sounds great, people still have questions. You might wonder: 

  • Is it safe?: Our online therapy sessions follow APA and HIPAA guidelines to protect your privacy and information. You can rest assured that Thriveworks values your safety and privacy as much as we do your mental health.
  • Is it as effective?: Our online therapy is just as effective for many of our clients as in-person sessions are. Though preference for either will vary between individuals, online therapists still provide the same level of care and support. 

Our clients come first. That’s why we only select the best online therapists to join our growing team of experts across the country. We hope that you’ll choose online therapy with Thriveworks, and enjoy the peace of mind and flexibility that comes with it. 

Working with an Online Therapist in Stockton, CA

If you’re unsure of how an online therapist can help you, consider that many of our clients are everyday people, who simply enjoy the extra strength and resilience that they gain from attending counseling sessions. Therapy won’t make you less independent, and it’s certainly not a sign of weakness. At Thriveworks in Stockton, CA, we know that being proactive about your mental health, and deciding to connect with a mental health professional takes a lot of courage. 

Online therapists can help clients manage their mental health conditions or issues through talk or behavioral therapy. Most sessions use active discussion between the client and the provider. Our online therapists use feedback from their clients in order to: 

  • Help individuals regulate their emotions, like anger or grief 
  • Create a treatment plan that fits their client’s unique perspective and situation 
  • Cultivate empathy and compassion between family members or couples in group therapy sessions 
  • Educate clients about mental health, and provide them with coping strategies to improve their quality of life

  • Depression 
  • Anxiety 
  • Relationship or family problems 
  • The loss of a loved one or friend 
  • Breakups and divorce

If you’re not seeing an issue that you’re concerned about, don’t fret. Everyone’s situation is a little bit different, and that’s okay. Though some clients may notice more improvement via talk or behavioral therapy, others will utilize our online psychiatry to help them manage conditions such as mood or behavior disorders. Both online psychiatry and therapy provide great mental health care, and it’s all at your fingertips. 

Online therapy lets you: 

  • Find time in your schedule to attend appointments

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.
