Online Therapy in Indianapolis, IN • Find Help

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.

What Is Online Counseling? What Makes It Special?

Online counseling isn’t that different from traditional in-person therapy. It’s just over video chat rather than in an office setting. Online mental health services give some added benefits that in-person therapy can’t. Some of these benefits include:

Online counseling is a comfortable option. Being able to talk from the place that makes you feel the most comfortable and safe often allows clients to open up even more than they would in a traditional setting.
Convenience also plays a big role in online counseling. You can talk to your licensed therapist from your car if you need to, from your desk at work, at home, and even while you’re away on vacation.
One of the greatest benefits of this option is that it’s just as effective as in-person counseling. You won’t have to worry about making less progress if you choose this option.
