Ken worked long hours at a tech startup in Silicon Valley. He was passionate about his work, but sometimes he worried that he was neglecting his mental health in exchange for professional success. For instance, he found himself staying up later every night, glued to his cell phone or computer screen, unable to calm his mind and body. His appetite had diminished and he’d lost 10 pounds without even trying. And he always seemed to be worried: that he wasn’t doing enough, that he was going to fail, that he was an impostor at work and everyone would figure it out eventually. But Ken barely had time to fit daily meals into his schedule. How was he going to see a counselor to help him with his stress, self-doubt, and anxiety?
Ken could benefit from reaching out to an online counselor at Thriveworks in Sunnyvale, CA. Thriveworks mental health providers are fully licensed and highly qualified to deliver exceptional psychological services online as well as in-person. If your busy schedule is holding you back from seeking the professional support that you need to succeed at work, at home, and in your personal relationships, Thriveworks may be the answer.
Is Online Therapy Effective?
Telehealth services are still relatively new, but so far the evidence-based scientific research has shown video therapy to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Peer-reviewed studies have primarily looked at counseling for depression, anxiety, and trauma. Therapy clients for these issues reported the same amount of satisfaction with video counseling services as they did for in-person treatment. Much of the research has looked at the high efficacy rates of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques conducted online.
Not only is online therapy effective at Thriveworks in Sunnyvale, VA, it’s also affordable. Our licensed mental health providers accept most health insurance, whether they’re seeing you virtually or in the brick and mortar office.
