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 Somerville, MA 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.

Mental Health Issues Addressed in Online Counseling

Online counseling does not remove or lessen the value of mental health services. Clients can make important progress with their provider, as they embark on tough yet rewarding conversations about their past, present, and future.

Many different mental health issues can be addressed in online counseling. Here are some of the most common problems that Thriveworks online professionals see in their clients:

  1. Symptoms of mental illness can accompany depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and others. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with these disorders, which focuses on improving negative thought patterns.
  2. Relationship issues, like poor communication and trust issues. These can be resolved in online couples therapy and marriage counseling. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists pull techniques from different types of therapy, like emotionally focused therapy and The Gottman Method.
  3. Stress and difficult emotions like anger. Licensed mental health professionals can also help their clients better manage stress and respond to other difficult emotions over the phone and/or video.

To summarize, online mental health professionals can address virtually any problem their client is having. If your psychological health is suffering, reach out to Thriveworks in Somerville, MA today.

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.
