My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy. I find the best benefit in using a multi-media approach (charts/graphs/videos) because it helps explain complicated issues in an interesting way.
Some of the tools I teach in online therapy include:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they say things like, “I know I'm catastrophizing,” “I got the project turned in on time,” or “My sleep is better because I'm not ruminating as much.”
What can clients do in their personal time to supplement online therapy? Practice the skills we talk about, even if they seem too simple. An example of this is mindful breathing. It sounds too simple, but studies are showing that just two minutes (on average) of mindful breathing can significantly reduce the reactivity of our fight-flee-freeze centers.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can familiarize yourself with Zoom and download the latest version so we have minimal technical glitches and more time to work together.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
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.
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.
Thriveworks Westborough has embarked on an important mission, that is helping people in the Worcester community live better. We all struggle in some way, shape or form—be it with a mental illness, relationship trouble, family drama, low self-esteem, grief and loss. And often, we can better manage these problems with the help of a professional counselor or therapist.
