What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is screen sharing The Gottman Feeling Wheel and any worksheets we may go over during the session. I prefer this because I love to collaborate with clients during their treatment.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I teach the following tools in online therapy:

  • Talk therapy- this helps to build the therapeutic relationship
  • Psychoeducation- teaching clients about their diagnosis and interventions
  • Positive Psychology- helping a client to think positively

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when the client reports about the positive changes they made during their week.

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

Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with reading therapeutic books to help them outside of sessions and utilize coping skills.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make sure you are in a quiet place alone to ensure your confidentiality. Also, check your internet connection to make sure it's strong to lessen session interruptions.

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.

Is Telephone Counseling or Video Counseling Right for Me?

Generally speaking, you can’t go wrong with telephone or video counseling. They are both viable online counseling options, of which have proven to help people fulfill their needs and accomplish their goals. That said, you might find that you prefer one over the other. This will depend on what your specific needs and/or goals are for therapy. For example, you might prefer telephone counseling over video counseling if you’d like to remain relatively anonymous. Or, on the other hand, if you enjoy that face-to-face interaction you get in video counseling, you might prefer this option over the former.

Now, if you have no idea which counseling option you’d like to pursue, that’s totally okay. You can give both a try at Thriveworks Lawrenceville, GA, or you can talk to our team more about which online counseling option might work best for you. In any case, here’s a little information about each option:

  1. Phone counseling: In phone counseling, you simply talk with your counselor over the phone instead of in person. Yes, it’s that simple. Your counselor will call you at the agreed upon day and time!
  2. Video counseling: In video counseling, you meet with your counselor in a secure video chat room instead of in person. Simple enough, right? When you schedule your session, you will be given a private video link to visit at the time of your session. Your counselor will see you there.

If you’re ready to book an online counseling session, be it telephone or video counseling, give Thriveworks Lawrenceville, GA (Sugarloaf) a call. We’ll pair you with the right counselor at the time of your call.

What Can I Achieve in Online Counseling? How Does It Help?

Dr. Tressa Stiles is an amazing therapist who immediately put me at ease with the way she was able to hear what I was saying. I felt understood and that there was no judgement. While she took time to hear me, she also offered a few suggestions to try out and that I found helpful. The most important thing to me is knowing I have a safe space where I can share what’s troubling me.
