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?

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.

Should I Talk to an Online Therapist?

Anyone can benefit from talking with one of our therapists or counselors. Therapy isn’t about trying to be perfect—it’s about learning to adapt to what life has dealt us by examining both the past and present. Online therapy provides you with virtual access to a therapist’s tips and guidance on coping with grief, anger, frustration, and more. 

One of the main benefits of talking with a mental health professional is that they can help to diagnose and treat different mental health conditions. Symptoms of different conditions will often vary, so it’s better not to try and diagnose yourself. However, it’s still important to note that signs of potential mental health conditions might manifest themselves as: 

  • An unusually short temper 
  • Fatigue or insomnia 
  • Lack of interest in sex 
  • Lack of interest in hobbies, relationships, or social gatherings 
  • Persistent feelings of loneliness and sadness 
  • Paranoia

Benefits of Online Therapy

With online therapy, a mental health professional can work with you to address specific situations that may be causing you distress, including: 

  • Anxiety-inducing events like financial hardship or losing a job
  • Relationship or marital issues
  • Depression, or feelings of loneliness 
  • Intense feelings of grief or anger

And online therapy isn’t just for individuals; for families, couples, or even friends, online therapy can be a great way to prioritize your relationship, even if you’re living separately. Reconnect and establish healthy communication with the ones you care about with the support of an online therapist at Thriveworks.

I had 6 or 7 sessions with Nancy Fredricks. A lovely lady. However, I had to end my sessions with her. I started becasue I was going through a depression,which was not normal for me. I had never had councelling on my own before. I'd had marriage councelling, but never individual councelling. Nancy did not ask a lot of questions or offer much in the way of practical solutions. Also, Nancy spends a lot of time scratching her head. I'm not sure what her condition is, but it is very distracting to watch during a therapy session. I'm not saying that talking to Nancy didn't help me. But it was not offering enough of a value that I would continue on with it. I wish her a lot of success in the future.

Absolutely unbelievable..I would never on my life have thought that the therapist needs a therapist for her own issues with dealing with people and client feedback. I'm very disappointed with nancy Frederick. She is no where qualified to act as a financial advisor or medical doctor and give unprofessional and non solicited advice.
