I’ve really been helped by Thriveworks. I have a wonderful counselor who has been able to arm me with resources and knowledge surrounding my mental illness so I can be more prepared against my own future thoughts or environments. I’ve been able to request a different psychiatrist when one was not entirely a correct match for me, and I always get great positive feedback and respect from my mental health care professionals. It seems like they actually want you to have a good match with someone and will help you along the way.

As an educator of students with a variety of special needs, I can attest to Sam's pedigree as a counselor. He is a skillful communicator, a staunch advocate for his clients, and he demonstrates an uncanny ability to remain calm and knowledgeable despite every and any difficult situation. Sam has been an invaluable resource to me in understanding the underlying conditions and trauma that provoke certain behaviors in children. In short, he has made me a better teacher!

Experience effective therapy with a counselor or therapist in

Paige has a job in social work and often comes home feeling exhausted. Working in this field, she feels like she internalizes the many feelings expressed to her. By the time work ends, she barely has the energy and drive to get small tasks done around her home. Let alone deal with her own feelings. She has a lot going on in her personal life too that she hasn’t addressed yet. The constant fluctuation of emotions is taking a toll on her, and she feels like she needs an outlet to express what she’s going through.

In this case, Paige could greatly benefit from working with a licensed mental health professional. A psychologist, therapist, or life coach could provide her with the guidance and support she needs to unload from the emotional toll her job takes on her and offer tips for coping with what’s going on in her personal life. Because she has a busy schedule, online counseling is the best option for her.

“In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” – Robert Frost

If stress from work weighs you down like Paige, or there’s another mental challenge before you, online counseling can prove helpful. At Thriveworks Counseling in Washington, DC, we have a team of mental health professionals who are readily available to help you conquer the challenges standing in your way. If something is holding you back, consider scheduling an appointment for telephone or video counseling. We’d love to work with you.

Online Counseling: A Solution for Mental Health Challenges

When life feels like it’s always, “go, go, go,” it’s essential to make time for addressing any difficult thoughts and feelings.

This isn’t a complete list of services we offer. Talk to your counselor about the specific challenges you’re having, and they’ll create a custom plan of action based on your needs. Online counseling also has many added benefits, such as comfort, convenience, reliability, and ease. These are just some of the many perks that you can enjoy when you start working with an online counselor.
