…so many people live in shame, hiding their struggles, not seeking help.

We, as a culture, have not fully acknowledged how much help is needed.

The only real shame is on us for not being willing to speak openly. For

continuing to deny that mental health is related to our overall health.

We need to start talking, and we need to start now.”

–Oprah Winfrey

What Is Distance Therapy? How Does Online Counseling Work?

Distance therapy refers to counseling that is conducted online versus in-person. If you decide to go the online counseling route, you’ll get to work with your therapist in one of two ways: over the phone or via video chat. If you choose the former, your counselor will give you a call at the scheduled time—make sure you have service! And if choose the latter of the two options, you’ll be sent a video link; click on this link and join the chat at the scheduled time. You’ll meet with your therapist here.

You might be wondering why people forego in-person counseling and choose to work with their therapist online instead. There are actually a few good reasons why people choose online therapy over in-person counseling. These include:

  1. It’s more convenient for their schedule: Many people don’t have enough time to take off of work for all of their appointments. And the last thing they want to do after work is drive to another office! Fortunately, online counseling allows them to receive the mental health help they need with the utmost convenience. Instead of having to drive to a therapy office, online counseling enables you to attend from the convenience of home.
  2. It might be easier for you to talk about tough subjects: A huge challenge for many people who could benefit from mental health services is reaching out for that help and then opening up in therapy. In many cases, people find that opening up to a therapist or counselor is more easily done in online counseling, when they meet with their provider through virtual means.
  3. It’s an effective option that enables you to make meaningful advancements: Choosing online counseling does not mean sacrificing or slowing down the progress you would make in in-person or face-to-face counseling. If you’re ready to make meaningful advancements with a counselor, reach out to Thriveworks Chesapeake, VA today.

You can begin making progress with your therapist at Thriveworks Chesapeake, as soon as today. To get started, you simply need to schedule your appointment. We’re here to help when you’re ready to get started.

Work with an Online Counselor at Thriveworks Chesapeake, VA

Online counseling is a convenient, comfortable, and effective counseling option. In addition, it offers a factor of reliability. When it comes to in-person counseling, there are many external factors that might get in your way of attending your session. For example, you might be forced to cancel or reschedule your appointment because you’re stuck in traffic, you’ve come down with an illness, or there are bad weather conditions. The same cannot be said for online counseling. With online counseling, you can count on making your appointment on time, as long as you have phone service or internet connection.

If online counseling sounds like the right therapy option for you or an option that’s worth exploring, reach out to Thriveworks Chesapeake. Give our team a call at (757) 414-6427 and we’ll help you schedule a phone counseling session or videoconference with an online counselor.

I've had the pleasure of working with Tammy Boone for about 5 months now and it has been a wonderful journey.

Dr. Patricia Jones Review

★★★★★
Therapy was a brand new experience for me and i was actually very nervous about going. Dr. Jones was so great and helpful! She made me feel comfortable the very first day. She provided me the tools and guidance to combat my negative thoughts and anxiety. I was given great handouts that I can even carry with me in my wallet. I really enjoyed speaking with her and looked forward to each session and finding new tools to help me improve my self-esteem. I am truly grateful for the guidance I received from Dr. Jones!
Thriveworks Counseling Chesapeake

Excellent Rapport

★★★★★
First of all, I was so afraid to go to counseling yet open up to a total stranger. However, Dr. Crayton is THE exception to the rule. I didn't feel like I was being judged, or that I was "crazy... She is so kind, calm, and very easy to talk to. She helped me overcome my hesitation about counseling. She allowed me to talk and "hear" my inner voice. Her style and compassion for helping people seems to come naturally. She allowed me to see things from a variety of perspectives but did not discount my feelings and perception. I feel like a new person just from my initial session. I welcome the next session and have already reflected on my mini homework assignment that she suggested. Dr. Crayton has given me a new outlook. I will definitely continue with her!

DTRs changed my life lol!

★★★★★
I have spent the last year learning so much about myself and mental/emotional health! From day 1 Dr. Patricia Jones, has been open, welcoming and nonjudgmental. She truly created a space for me to work through the things I was going through there in the office but also gave me the tools that continue to help me now. DTRs changed my life lol, but seriously I would recommend Dr. Jones in a heartbeat! Also Thriveworks is simple to work with and the newsletter articles are great

Great Place for People Considering Therapy

★★★★★
At first I was super hesitant on going to therapy for myself. Once I found out about Thriveworks, I started up for about a month. Dr. Jones, Patricia Jones, helped me with much more than my mental health and it exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her if you are considering therapy. It is a very reasonable priced place to go to if you have a great copay as well. I changed for a better during my time there and would 101% recommend if you are considering counseling.

Great Guy!

★★★★★
I have accessed therapy myself but have never had the opportunity to see James for therapy. I have known James for a long time, probably about ten years and have always found him to be eager to help and able to help. He is a very devoted father and a good friend. I would trust him as a friend and as a therapist.

Brittany Morris is a top choice!

★★★★★
I had the pleasure of Brittany Morris working with me in my 4th grade classroom this past school year! She not only helped me manage my many students with anxiety and social adjustments, but she helped guide me along the school year as well. Brittany has a knack for keeping chaotic situations calm, reminding adults and children that they are being heard and are important. Brittany shares stories and advice that easily help children and adults in not so easy situations. She was not only a counselor to me and my class, but also became a friend. I will treasure everything Brittany taught me and my young students! I cannot say enough positive and wonderful things about her, I highly recommend her to anyone!
