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 specific needs and with whom 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?

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. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Need more help deciding?

In 1972, Stanford and UCLA simulated a therapy session on the computer for the first time ever. Today, this is referred as the very start of online counseling. Online self-help groups, mental health hotlines, and “Ask Abby” discussions made their rounds on the internet. And they are still very much alive today, but there is another prominent form of online mental health help: online counseling.

Online counseling is pretty self-explanatory. It’s working with a counselor in an online environment, such as over the phone or video. This is the big difference between the traditional in-person counseling approach and the online counseling approach. Both types of therapy prove effective and are valuable options if you’re looking for mental health services.

Success as a therapist is not found in doing something for the client, but rather in being someone for the client. –Ili Rivera Walter

Thriveworks Tennessee has seen an important need for online counseling. In fact, many people prefer online counseling to in-person counseling as the world evolves. For example, our clients enjoy the comfort and the convenience that online counseling can offer them. They don’t have to worry about rushing to the office to make it to their appointment in time; they don’t have to worry about sitting in traffic and running late. Online counseling makes counseling easier, and in some cases, offers greater benefits. If you are weighing your counseling options, consider online counseling at Thriveworks Tennessee. We have counselors who can meet with you via phone or video now.

How Does Telephone Counseling Work? What About Video Counseling?

You might feel intimidated by this new counseling option, but it’s simple! Both telephone counseling and video counseling only require a simple device—such as a phone or computer—that allows you to call into your sessions. In addition, you’ll need internet access as well. Once you’ve checked those two boxes, you’re all set to meet with your online counselor!

Telephone counseling and video counseling could both be viable options for you. You’re welcome to try both option out and see which you prefer. Or, maybe you already know that you’d prefer one over the other. For example, you might prefer video counseling if…

  • You value that face-to-face interaction
  • You like the in-person feel without having to travel

Or, on the other hand, you might prefer telephone counseling if you’d rather not meet with your counselor “face-to-face,” would like a greater degree of anonymity, or you’re looking for the absolute most flexible form of counseling.

How Can an Online Counselor Help Me?

An online counselor can help you in much the same way as an in-person counselor. The virtual environment does not serve as a barrier to working through hard problems and making meaningful progress in counseling. In fact, some people find that online counseling empower them to make greater, quicker progress than in-person counseling because they feel more comfortable talking to their counselor from home or via an online medium.

If your mental health and/or emotional wellbeing are suffering as a result of any of the following, an online counselor at Thriveworks Tennessee Counseling can help:

  • Depressed thoughts and feelings
  • Out of control anxiety
  • Jealousy, miscommunication, other relationship conflicts
  • Unhealthy dynamics in one’s family
  • The loss of a beloved friend or family member
  • The loss of a job
  • Lack of fulfillment
  • General discontent or unhappiness

Whatever it is you’re dealing with, Thriveworks Tennessee Counseling will pair you with the provider who has skills and experience specific to your mental health challenge. This helps to ensure that you find the help and support you’re looking for.

Caitlin is absolutely incredible and that is a huge understatement! She is caring, empathetic and always provides a safe and open space to talk about any and everything that's in my mind. She challenges me when I feel stuck and encourages me to always trust myself. She gives me items to work on and think more in depth about each week which has proven to be a huge motivator and game changer in my life. I've spent almost 3 years with her and I honestly don't know where I'd be without her in my corner. I hope every patient at Thriveworks is fortunate enough to have a therapist as wonderful as Caitlin.
