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.

More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Asking for help when it comes to your mental health isn’t something to be ashamed of. In fact, you’ve probably received guidance in one form or another already. Have you ever been a member of a sports or dance team? Have you ever sought out advice or support from a friend? Have you ever confided in a co-worker when you needed help? Have you ever seen a doctor for a sickness or physical injury? Most likely you answered yes to one, if not all, of those questions. So, if asking a friend, doctor, coach, or mentor for help when you need it is okay, why should going to a therapist be seen any differently?
Every now and then, quite unintentionally, someone taught you something about yourself. – Ian McEwan
