How Does Online Therapy Work?

As we just mentioned, online therapy allows you to work with your therapist from home, or wherever else you choose. You’ll do so via virtual means, and you’ll get to choose between:

Phone counseling: With this approach to online counseling, you’ll answer your counselor’s call at the agreed upon time! It couldn’t be simpler. Just make sure you have phone service or internet connection to do so.
Video therapy: You can also go with the videoconference approach. Instead of answering your counselor’s call at the set time, you’ll click a link that takes you to a virtual video chat! Again, just make sure you have the proper internet connection to attend your session.

Online counseling proves to be a great counseling option for many people, especially those with busy schedules, fears, and other limitations that prevent them from making it in for a face-to-face appointment on a regular basis. If this sounds like you, consider the option of online counseling.

What Are the Perks of Online Counseling?

As we just mentioned, online counseling is a great option to consider and can prove especially beneficial to certain individuals. Consider the following scenarios:

Jim is interested in counseling, but his local therapy office is all the way across town and he just doesn’t have it in him to add this commute to his weekly schedule. He’s considered it time and time again but always gets hung up on the time it will take him to get to and from his appointments. Fortunately, Jim quickly discovers online counseling services. He schedules an appointment without hesitation and quickly enjoys the many online therapy benefits.
Jackie has always wanted to schedule a counseling appointment, but her fear of judgment from friends and family stops her every time. if she goes to the local therapy office she risks being seen by someone she knows. If only she could explore the benefits of therapy and embark on this journey without having to disclose it to her loved ones right away. Fortunately, Jackie finds an online counseling service that allows her to attend her sessions from the security of her own home. She’ll open up to her friends and family in due time!

As you can see from the above examples, online counseling allows individuals to attend their therapy sessions from the convenience of home; it also offers anonymity if the individual so desires it. Additionally, online therapy at Thriveworks Richmond, VA offers comfort, flexibility, affordability, and reliability. If you’re interested in what online counseling could do for you, our online counselors are here to go on that journey with you.

A blessing

Ashley Crouch has been been a blessing to me over the past year. I cannot begin to thank her enough for how she has impacted my life. She is very effective, professional, and respectful. My quality of life has improved by leaps and bounds and I'm forever grateful. I live in a rural area with few counseling options, so online counseling was a Godsend, and so was Ashley!

Exceptional service.

I’ve been seeing Ashley for about a month now at Thriveworks and I couldn’t be happier

I’ve been seeing Ashley for about a month now at Thriveworks and I couldn’t be happier. She really helped me get back to person I use to be. I’ve had a rough couple years and she has me well on my way to a better me.

Beyond happy

★★★★☆

Started off a little rocky, but once I voiced my concerns I felt heard and my situation was handled. I switched clinicians and am beyond happy that I stayed.

Need to hear from Ellen Morgan

★☆☆☆☆

I have left Ellen several phone messages and sent her two emails. I have not had any response from her. If you are the clinical supervisor, please let her know we need her to correct the information she sent to us.

I’m so grateful for Thriveworks

After I started working with Ashley, she’s made me feel normal again. I’m so grateful for Thriveworks because I finally feel like I’m set up to better myself, my goals, and my future.

Ashley has been wonderful.

Ashley has been wonderful. I really appreciate her approach to focusing on what I am actually feeling and experiencing rather than what/if a diagnosis might be. I just want to get through what I am going through in the healthiest was possible and with her help I feel so confident that I can and will do that.

Mrs Anita can really relate

Mrs Anita can really relate and when she speaks I hear a person that knows emotions and pain all to well and how to recover it.

Emily Tyre

Emily Tyre is an excellent counselor. I worked with her for several years and she is the consummate professional, she is extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, and cares deeply for her clients. She has a broad knowledge base, is cool and steady in challenging settings, and supports her clients through whatever their issue. I recommend her highly!

Ms. Emily Tyre

Ms. Emily... where do I begin? She is an amazing counselor. She provides the highest quality service to her clients. Her ability to enhance ones life is phenomenal! Ms. Emily makes you feel comfortable. It is easy to share your story with her. Her passion, care and concern is unmatched. She is just an overall spectacular counselor.

Emily is an amazing professional that is both stern and firm when needed as well as kind and compassionate. She helped our entire family through one of the most traumatic events one can go through besides a death. I can honestly say I don't know if we would have survived with our family intact without her help and continued support. Emily is a blessing to our family and any whom have the privilege of her guidance, strength and wisdom.

Really great environment and experience:)

So far I am enjoying it.

So far I am enjoying it. The billing is a little confusing as I’m not sure if you are using my insurance. Money is the only issue I’m having so far which, could end my current relationship with TW :( But Dr.Bagley is great!

I've known Emily Tyre as a colleague and a friend for more than ten years. She is the consummate professional. Emily has excellent training and knowledge to support and guide her clients, but more than that she is truly a deeply caring person who puts others first. I've seen her work and I've worked with her. She is someone to be trusted to look out for the very best interest of those she serves.

Ma Emily, has helped me out many of times, she is a solution based therapist. She is passionate and dedicated on assisting her clients on different plans to help with the healing process.

Asking For Help is a Strength…

Originally I felt weak, ashamed and not a man if I considered talking to a therapist, I could not have been more wrong. Ms. Emily has been a pleasure and has helped me in so many ways. Emily has shown me it’s a strength to reach out. Now I am able to live life to its fullest.

Emily Tyre is THE MOST caring and understanding women I have ever met. She will listen thoroughly to your problems and help you work through them as best as she can. She not only makes you feel welcomed and secure when talking to her, but also is very professional with doing so. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that is in need or counciling or guidance.

Emily has really challenged me! She makes me really think...she is tough on me, but she definitely keeps my interes and targets me when needed...and makes me work to improve myself regularly!

Emily is a wonderful counselor. Kind and caring yet firm and direct. She helps you focus and prioritize during a crisis. You are functional without even realizing it - yet she gives you the tools to process what your going through. Her professional manner helped us through one of our most challenging experiences.
