What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My go-to approach for online therapy is to make you feel as comfortable as possible. and to build a connection with you that puts you at ease. I enjoy making you feel comfortable in virtual therapy, as you are limited to what you can see of each other.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I use the following tools:

  • Homework: This is a way for you to connect your sessions to your daily lives. This task is based on our work together. It can be something like trying something new, or a different approach to thinking about something.
  • Coping skills: This can be something like new breathing exercises or using the ones you know, but making sure you do them when you feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they connect sessions to their everyday lives, are changing behaviors that brought them into therapy, or report they are able to identify why their mood or behaviors are improving.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with tasks talked about in therapy, such as a new skill learned or a different approach to behaviors or people.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for your first online therapy session, you should make sure you are in a private space so you feel comfortable engaging in your session. Whatever device you use, you should make sure you have Zoom on it and may want to test that your Zoom works. Also, make sure you silence your phone so messages are not distracting to you.

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.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
