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.

Have you ever considered seeing a counselor? Counselors help people overcome tough mental and emotional obstacles. They help people heal after difficult losses, such as the death of a close loved one. They help people manage symptoms of mental illness (like depression or anxiety), and get to the bottom of what caused it. They help people work through conflicts they have with loved ones, be it their spouse, their family members, their friends.
Counseling is an important mental health services—one that can help people just like you overcome the challenges that are standing in their way. More specifically, they can help you manage stress, work through difficult emotions, heal after tough losses, manage mental illnesses and so much more.
There isn’t anybody out there who doesn’t have a mental health issue,
whether it’s depression, anxiety, or how to cope with relationships. Having
OCD is not an embarrassment anymore for me. Just know that there is
help and your life could be better if you go out and seek the help.”

Some people are a little wary of beginning online counseling because it’s the less conventional approach, but research shows that it is just effective. And Thriveworks Counseling has observed its effectiveness, too. Our clients love online counseling, specifically the comfort and convenience that it offers. If you’re on the fence about it, consider this: What do you have to lose? If you do take the leap and give online counseling a try, and you find that it isn’t for you, no problem. You can always return to in-person counseling.
If you’d like to give it a try, Thriveworks Counseling has two options for you: telephone counseling or videoconference counseling. These are both effective online counseling approaches and come down to mere preference. If you’d prefer to have a more intimate, face-to-face interaction with your counselor, you’d probably prefer the videoconference option. If you’d prefer the opposite, phone counseling would likely be the option for you!
We want you to really remember and understand that the major difference between in-person and online counseling is the environment that it’s conducted in. Online counseling can address your needs and help you meet your goals, just like in-person counseling can. This means that online counseling has the potential to help you…
