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. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. 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.
Many people are finding that online counseling is the convenient option. Rather than having to leave the house and commute to your appointment, you can simply hop on the phone or video chat to attend your appointment. Not to mention that online counseling is the safe, secure option during special circumstances when staying at home whenever possible is vital.
If you are interested in counseling, but you can’t or don’t want to go to another office for another appointment, consider giving online counseling a try. Thriveworks Buffalo, NY offers online counseling and can get you scheduled with an appointment right away. You’ll get to choose between phone counseling and video counseling, both of which are easy and do not require you to have advanced technological skills (as some worry). We’re here to help and support you.
As we touched on briefly above, you get to choose whether you want to work with your counselor over the phone or on video chat. Either way, you are not required or expected to have advanced technological skills. All you need is access to a phone or computer and service or internet! If you can check those off your list, you’re all ready to start online counseling.
Many people struggle to find the time to drive to and then attend yet another appointment. For this reason, online counseling proves to be a great option for many people. If you decide to pursue online counseling, here’s how it’ll work based on which option you choose:
It might take some experimentation to figure out which type of counseling is right for you. That’s okay! We’re happy to help you test out your options and find the best fit for you.
We’ve focused on a few main benefits thus far, including convenience and comfort. Again, working with a counselor online means you don’t have to leave your house. You can forget about the commute, the extra time spent on the road—just relax, and answer your counselor’s call or jump into your video session at the time of your appointment.
In addition to convenience and comfort, online counseling is a safe option during unprecedented times that suggest or require us to stay home. It also removes external factors from the equation like bad weather, poor road conditions, and other unpredictable. This means that you don’t have to worry about having to cancel or reschedule your appointment due to those elements just mentioned.
Do online counseling benefits sound like something you could get used to? We think so too. We’re happy to meet with you and get to work as soon as you’re ready too. Our licensed, caring counselors can help with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loneliness, and much more. To get the help and support that you need, all you have to do is reach out. We so look forward to meeting you.
