What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is to provide a comfortable, supportive environment upon which a strong clinical relationship can be built. It is my belief that, through this partnership, clients are best able to draw on their individual strengths and capabilities.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

A variety of tools, techniques, and resources are shared with clients to assist with presenting problems and/or mental health symptoms. An example of a tool I would share with a client who is anxious would be to rule out any medical symptoms and/or diagnoses that could contribute to anxiety. Then, I would use grounding and mindfulness exercises such as meditation to manage symptoms when triggered.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they share having decreased episodes and presenting problems are resolved to a state where they are easily manageable, rather than being a trigger.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement online therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by completing therapeutic homework, identifying support systems and using them, and ruling out any medical symptoms and/or diagnoses that may contribute to mental health.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

I recommend contacting your insurance company to make sure you understand your mental health benefits before our intake. During your intake, we will be going over a variety of questions so I can get a snapshot picture of your biological, psychological, and social factors, and then briefly go over what brings you in for therapy. This is also a good time to share with me your mental health goals. This information will help me identify if I am a good fit for you and if I am not, I can refer you to someone who can meet your mental health needs.

Starting Online therapy

What is online therapy?

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.

How does online therapy work?

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.

What is the best option for online therapy?

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.

Is online therapy just as effective?

Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.

How long does online therapy last?

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.

How much does online therapy cost?

Our Thriveworks therapists at Thriveworks in Chesterfield, VA accept most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

How Online Counseling Can Help

Thriveworks Chesterfield offers therapy services via telehealth or online counseling. This means you can have a therapy session over videoconference or phone from the comfort of your own home. Most insurance companies are currently covering these services, making therapy more accessible.

During your online session, your therapist will guide you through the therapy process, creating a safe and comfortable environment for you to discuss your concerns. Therapy can help you process overwhelming emotions and develop new coping strategies.

Getting Started with Online Counseling

If you’re new to telehealth, it might feel strange at first, but that’s okay. Your Thriveworks Chesterfield online counselor will help you set up your sessions on your computer or phone. All you need is a device with a camera and internet access, such as a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

To ensure privacy, schedule therapy during quiet times, like child nap times, or find a secluded room in your home. Playing music outside the door can help with sound privacy. If possible, ask a spouse, partner, older family member, or friend for help with childcare during your session.

Flexible Scheduling

Our Thriveworks Chesterfield online counseling professionals offer flexible appointment times, including early morning, evening, and weekend slots, as well as daytime appointments to fit your schedule. Many clients are able to schedule their first session within 7 days of calling.

I was so nervous about going to therapy being that I’ve never foresaw a reason or need to go… I had encountered a very traumatic accident at work and it left me confused and depressed about my career path! I can honestly say if it weren’t for Ariane I’d still be left battling confusion and and depression from my accident. I’ve suffered anxiety and panic attacks from the incident but Ari has given me helpful tips to get through my tough times when I’m experiencing those attacks. I’m just so grateful to have encountered a very experienced and understanding counselor who genuinely has my best interest at a full recovery at heart!

This was my first therapy experience. I was in desperate need for help. Jenee was my therapist for a year and I can’t overstate how incredibly helpful she has been. She met me where I was mentally and helped me to find myself and healthy/productive ways of dealing with my everyday struggles. I’m a completely different and happier person thanks to her hard work.
