Tackle Any Issue Through Online Counseling

As you’ve probably gathered, online counseling has no limits to the ways in which it can help you with your mental health. We all experience things that get in our way that we need to tackle in order to move on. Online counseling is designed to help you work through these issues.

Here are some of the areas that we can help you with here at Thriveworks:

  • Behavioral problems in children and teens
  • Communication issues
  • Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and addiction
  • Grief and loss
  • Family turmoil
  • Relationship conflicts including trust, lack of intimacy, and infidelity
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Parenting concerns
  • Stress management
  • Anger management
  • Financial concerns
  • Major life changes
  • Low self-esteem

Didn’t see your specific concern above? No worries. These are only some of the ways that a therapist at Thriveworks Counseling can help you or your loved one. We can help you find relief through marriage counseling, family therapy, child therapy, life coaching, couples therapy, depression therapy, and more.

Why Should I Choose Online Counseling?

People book appointments online, shop online, meet friends online, and find information online. Why shouldn’t you also be able to talk to a counselor online?

Online counseling offers our clients the ability to speak to their mental health provider from wherever they want. You can choose between two easy options: over the phone or via video chat. Regardless of the option you choose, there are many great benefits that go along with online counseling. Some are:

  1. Convenience: Talk to your counselor from anywhere you need. Simply just pick up the phone or click on a link.
  2. Comfort: Online counseling takes away the added pressure of sitting down in the room with someone new. Plus, you can easily talk to your counselor from the comfort of your own home.
  3. Reliability: Missing appointments because of unexpected, uncontrollable events is a thing of the past. However, if you do need to reschedule, we have a flexible cancellation policy.
  4. Effectiveness: You’re not giving up the quality of care by choosing online counseling. In fact, studies show that online counseling is just as effective and beneficial as traditional in-person therapy.

When starting to work with an online counselor, they will assess what your wants, needs, and goals are. Doing so gives them the ability to create a plan of treatment that addresses your specific challenges to help you make the most progress as possible. To do so, they’ll use a variety of different techniques and methods aimed at helping you on many different levels. You can expect to improve your communication skills, learn how to problem-solve, be able to identify your stressors, and how to cope with difficult feelings.

My practitioner’s human-first approach has helped me regain confidence in advocating for myself and my own health. She has listened and responded with understanding, with advice and suggestions I know comes from kindness for my well-being. As someone that feels well protected in her care, I hope those making decisions in Thriveworks policy and regulations does everything they can to support and advocate for her overall wellbeing as well.

Kassandra understands many things about me that most don’t. She is very knowledgeable and attentive. Kassandra isn’t too prideful to ask another counselor to counsel her on a tough intricate situation before guiding me. “In the presence of many Counselors, Wisdom is found.” I appreciate her eagerness to honor my time and get right to the heart of each matter. Her advice and guidance is helping tremendously.

I’ve worked with 2 therapists from Thriveworks, and both have had different styles and approaches. Both, however, have been very professional while still allowing me to feel heard and honest, so that I am able to make the growth that I’m looking for. I am very impressed with this practice, and will continue to utilize it for my therapy needs.
