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.

Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.

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.

Evan is terrific.

I absolutely think my therapist Alice Rodgers is one of the best clinicians that I’ve ever worked with. She is warm, engaging and always provides great and caring feedback. I have learned so much and I really feel that the strategies that we discuss have really helped me in all aspects of my life. I can’t recommend Alice enough.

I recommended thriveworks to a friend and she booked an appointment. She told me the provider she got (not mine) jumped very quickly into intake questions without any greeting and it made her feel uncomfortable. She switched providers after that.

★★★★★
My therapist Rayla, was fantastic. She was realistic, easy to chat with and I’m glad I had her to guide me through the past year and a half. I’m sad to be ending because of insurance BS, but the tools and convos we’ve shared will be a great guide for me. Rayla relates your problems to her own life so you don’t feel alone and she listens to what you really care about.

I really like how easy it is to navigate Thriveworks - from the variety of providers to the flexibility of hours. I enjoy working with Liz the most, there's a level of understanding that she brings to our sessions that facilitates healing. I'm grateful that Thriveworks allowed me to meet with many different folks before deciding who aligns the most with my current needs.
