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.

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.

I enjoyed my experience with Jeannie Felty. She was very friendly and very professional. When first talking with her, I was looking forward to the meeting being over not having anything to do with her. I just didn’t feel like talking to anyone due to my depression. But by the end of the session, I found myself not wanting to stop talking with her And dreaded The session ending. She seemed very educated in her field and appears that she enjoys her work. I was having a bad day but felt somewhat better after our session. I simply feel somewhat confident that she can help me

Michele Mitchell not only saved my life, she helped me start living it again. The level of effort, sincerity, empathy, and professionalism she has demonstrated through our sessions goes way beyond what one should expect another human being to give, therapist or otherwise.

I like the Dr. once we got the connection figured out. The connection process could use some work. Also I was asked to go to my documents in my profile and I never did find that
