My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is giving them assignments to keep them engaged in the process (i.e., worksheets, research). I prefer this because it also gives the client something to work on outside of therapy to increase psychological flexibility.
I teach the following tools in online therapy: core beliefs and values, education on diagnoses, and improving self-confidence. I use thought records and other cognitive models to help clients challenge negative core beliefs, I review criteria of mental disorders to confirm or rule out diagnoses, and I process events with clients to help them boost their self-confidence.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they are able to talk about how they have applied the techniques they've learned and are able to remain regulated while doing so.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with bibliotherapy, experiential activities, exposure therapy, and practicing self-care.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make a list of stressors that you would like to work on.
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.
