Online Counseling in Austin, TX—Counselors, Therapists
Mental health services are growing in prevalence and popularity, as people are asserting control over their lives and reaching out for the support that they need. But sometimes certain challenges get in one’s way of working with the right counselor or therapist—such as a lack of counselors nearby, a long commute time, or a virus that has forced us all to stay home. Fortunately, online counseling is the solution to each of these problems!
Online counseling is a convenient and effective option, especially for those who can’t make it in for an in-person appointment as well as those who would prefer to attend from home. Either way, the online counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Austin, TX are happy to work with you. They can meet with you over the phone or videoconference—it’s your choice! To schedule a telephone counseling or video counseling appointment at Thriveworks in West Lake Hills, just call (512) 649-3050.
How Does Online Therapy Work?
More and more people are foregoing in-person counseling, the traditional counseling approach—and they’re working with a counselor online instead! Online counseling, also known as e-therapy, internet counseling, and virtual therapy, is simply working with your counselor via virtual means. Here at Thriveworks in Austin, TX (West Lake Hills), you get to choose between telephone counseling and video counseling. Here’s a little bit about each option:
- Telephone counseling: This is a popular option, as it is perhaps the most flexible form of counseling. In other words, you can quite literally attend your session from anywhere you please. You just have to make sure you have access to your phone! Yes, you can talk with your counselor in a phone counseling session from the comfort of bed.
- Video counseling: This is another popular option, as many people value and seek out that face-to-face interaction they would get in in-person counseling. Additionally, video counseling offers flexibility too—you can attend from anywhere you like as long as you have internet connection and are able to hop into your video chat!
“Well, which online counseling service is right for me?” Don’t worry, both telephone and video counseling prove effective. And you’re allowed to switch from one to the other if you find that one isn’t quite working for you! We’re here to help you find the very best fit.
Online counseling is a super valuable service for those who can’t find a counselor with the qualifications or experience they’re looking for; those who aren’t able to come in for an in-person session due to a physical or mental disability; and those who would simply prefer to attend their counseling sessions from the comfort and convenience of home.
Online Counseling Benefits: How Will It Help?
Online counseling brings many benefits to the table, including utmost comfort, convenience, flexibility, reliability, and even affordability. To begin with, online counseling allows you to attend your counseling sessions from home—which means ultimate comfort and convenience. Additionally, online therapy is reliable.
