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.

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.
Caroline was excited but nervous to have her firstborn. She always knew that she wanted to be a mom; however, she also knew that it wasn’t a piece of cake. All of these nerves and anxiety built up over the course of the 9 months. And while she hoped that they’d subside the moment her daughter was born, that didn’t happen. Not in the least bit
In the days that followed the birth of her baby, Lucy, Caroline’s anxiety grew bigger and bigger. She couldn’t stop her racing mind. They housed horrible thoughts about her baby getting hurt or dying, like:
Caroline did everything in her power to ensure that these thoughts didn’t come true. She never left Lucy’s side, even refusing to let her husband and others hold her. At night, instead of sleeping in her own bed, she slept on the floor next to Lucy’s crib.
Fortunately, Caroline’s family helped her realize that she had a problem. After talking to a counselor, it became clear that she suffered from postpartum anxiety. And she was able to get the help that she needed to manage this out-of-control worry surrounding her newborn.
Online counselors can help people manage symptoms of mental illness and address other mental health challenges from the comfort of home. A huge obstacle in receiving mental health care is finding an office with availability or even overcoming one’s nerves to meet with the counselor. Online counseling offers a solution to these and other obstacles.
