Providence Online Counseling—Work Virtually with a Therapist in Providence, RI

Many people forego scheduling an appointment, be it with a doctor, a dentist, or a counselor, because it is inconvenient:

• Finding a time to attend the appointment is inconvenient. 
• Taking time off of work to attend the appointment is inconvenient. 
• And commuting to the office to attend the appointment is inconvenient.

Telehealth eliminates these barriers and makes these necessary appointments convenient. Online appointments mean greater flexibility in scheduling. Often, providers have sooner availability and availability in evenings as well as on weekends. This then means that you also don’t have to worry about taking time off of work to attend your appointment or commuting to the office. 

If you would like to talk to a mental health professional, but you’ve put it off because the process felt too inconvenient, consider online therapy. Online therapy is a convenient, flexible, and comfortable way to get mental health help.

Are There Online Options for Therapy?

We’ve already addressed this question and the answer, of course, is yes. But we want to detail the online therapy options offered at Thriveworks Counseling in Providence, RI. 

Here at Thriveworks, we offer our clients two main online therapy options. These include telephone sessions and video sessions. Both of these options are an effective, convenient way to work with a mental health counselor or licensed psychologist.

We leave it up to our clients to choose which way they’d like to meet with their provider. If you aren’t sure whether you’d prefer to meet with a counselor in telephone or video sessions, read more about the two below:

• How do telephone sessions work? Telephone sessions are the easiest way to meet with your counselor with the least hassle. Instead of traveling to the office to meet with your provider, you’ll simply answer their call at your scheduled session time.
• How do video sessions work? Video sessions are another option for people who want to do online therapy. This is a great option for those who would like that face-to-face interaction and prefer online counseling to be as close to in-person counseling as possible. 

Telephone and video conferencing sessions are viable options for people who want to try online therapy. Thriveworks is happy to offer these online counseling services, and we’d love to connect you with an online counselor today.
