What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My competency and preferred modality is based in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and some DBT skills. I like to utilize this combination because it helps clients understand their thoughts and emotions and how they can influence their behavior. Through this process, I try to understand what clients want to see in their life and help them manage their intense feelings and emotional responses.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I like to share my screen and educate clients on some of the following CBT tools, such as:

  • Recognizing emotions on the feelings wheel
  • Learning about the cognitive triangle, hierarchy of needs, and stages of life
  • Learning coping skills and strategies for managing and regulating emotions and stress
  • How to recognize, challenge, and reframe cognitive distortions, otherwise known as automatic negative thoughts
  • Addressing barriers to change by cultivating awareness and mindfulness
  • Learning communication skills to express what they feel, advocate for their needs with the people in their life., and take appropriate pauses in order to respond rather than react
  • Breathing exercises
  • Processing journaling
  • The use of calendars, schedules, and routines
  • Reality-checking fears and anxieties
  • Cognitive restructuring

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy?

I can tell a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they are able to come back, session after session, and confidently report and process their ability to use skills, strategies, and routines they have been working on in treatment.Also, when they are using terminology they learned in sessions and demonstrating increased awareness, ability to utilize the skills to regulate, and ability to manage whatever they are working on in treatment goals.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement online therapy?

Clients can use skills, strategies, and routines they have been working on in treatment, utilizing the skills to regulate and manage whatever they are there working on in treatment goals.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

I encourage clients to supplement their work in individual therapy with positive, healthy, and effective activities, or what we refer to as pleasant events, in their daily lives. We can discuss activities, practices, routines, and habits that provide life satisfaction and help them feel like they are working toward long-term life goals. We will often look at a balanced life wheel that I have been known to share.

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?

To best address varying needs and preferences, Thriveworks Woodbridge offers online counseling opportunities. Online counseling—otherwise referred to as e-counseling and virtual therapy—improves access to mental health services and also offers a more convenient counseling option, as it allows individuals to work with a counselor or therapist right from home.

“When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” –Fred Rogers

The two main online counseling options at Thriveworks Woodbridge, VA are telephone counseling and video counseling (of which we will delve into later). Both of these options will enable you to work with your counselor virtually, and from the convenience of home, work, the coffee shop down the stress, your car, or anywhere else you choose.

To schedule an online counseling appointment at Thriveworks Woodbridge, simply give our office a call. Or, if you’d prefer to schedule an in-person counseling appointment, we can help with that too! Our counselors are happy to work with you in-office or online. The choice is yours.

How Does Online Counseling at Thriveworks Woodbridge Work?

As we just mentioned, there are two main online counseling options at Thriveworks Woodbridge: telephone counseling and video counseling. Both are effective options, which allow you to work well with your therapist and make important progress in your sessions. Here’s a little bit more about each:

  1. Telephone counseling is perhaps the most flexible, relaxed online counseling option of the two. As long as you have internet or cell service, you can attend your therapy session from wherever you please. You’ll simply answer your counselor’s call at the time of your appointment.
  2. Video counseling is perhaps the more intimate online counseling option, as it still offers that face-to-face interaction. Some people find this element vital to the learning and growth process in therapy—others would rather do without the face-to-face element. Consider, “Do I value that face-to-face interaction?” in deciding which online counseling option might be the best one for you!

The therapists and counselors at Thriveworks Woodbridge are happy to work with you in online counseling over the phone or over video. Also, if you try one option out and then decide that it might not be right for you, that’s okay—it happens. Sometimes you have to engage in telephone counseling and/or video counseling to best determine which option works for you.

How Can Online Counseling Help Me?

Just like in-person counseling, online counseling can help people address a wide array of mental health challenges and other life issues. These include symptoms of a mental health disorder such as depression or anxiety; family conflicts; relationship issues; grief and loss; stressors in childhood or teenhood; stress management; and so on. This means that you can participate in the following services online at Thriveworks Woodbridge:

  • Depression therapy
  • Anxiety therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Couples therapy
  • Marriage counseling
  • Grief therapy
  • Child therapy
  • Teen counseling
