Online therapy is much like traditional face-to-face therapy, and I prefer a cognitive behavioral approach, because one's mindset and daily behaviors matter. Small changes can end up leading to larger and more significant ones.
I teach positive affirmations, help clients identify and express feelings, learn about and try new coping skills, work on improving self-esteem as needed, and utilize their support system.
When a client can function better and feels a bit better day to day, this is a huge and meaningful improvement.
There are many apps and YouTube references to guided meditation, deep breathing, relaxation, etc. that can be incredibly helpful. Exercise and laughter are also great.
When beginning online therapy, pick someone who feels like they are a good fit for you with regard to their specialization and their personality. Then, make sure you have a good internet connection and a safe, private comfortable space to talk.
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.
