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.
We all have bad days where it feels like everything and everyone is working against us. We’re overwhelmed with our emotions from sadness to anger, frustration, stress, guilt, regret, anxiousness. The thing is that we can’t completely eliminate these emotions from our lives; nor can we ensure that we won’t encounter another bump in the road. What we can do is have a plan of attack for these difficult emotions and life’s many obstacles. Consider:
You’ve been feeling overwhelmed at work recently and you opened up to your best friend about what’s going on. You talk about the crazy workload, mounds of paperwork to get completed, and meetings with no end in sight. Your friend tells you that she worked with a counselor and it helped her find peace.
You schedule an appointment with an online counselor and you meet with them on weeknights. In just a few short sessions, you start to see improvements in your stress, personal relationships, and overall happiness.
