Research shows that therapy conducted online produces outcomes equivalent to therapy done face-to-face. With the advent of technology like interactive websites and smartphone apps, you can work with your Thrive therapist to achieve your goals and grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be—all without leaving the comfort of your home.

Whether you travel frequently, need to take care of your kids, work from home, or don’t live near any Thrive office locations, you can still want to connect with a therapist from the comfort of your own home.

Most Thrive therapists are licensed in multiple states. All our online sessions are conducted via a secure videoconferencing system (Zoom) to maintain privacy and confidentiality. Doing therapy online is easy and convenient, so book a 30-minute free consultation with us today to see if it’s right for you!

NEW TO ONLINE SESSIONS?  

Here are some tips based on the experiences of Thrive Psychology clients and clinicians:

  • To log on to your online session, simply click on the link provided to you by your therapist and/or the online session reminder that you received in your email. 

  • Once you are connected, you will see the Thrive Psychology Waiting Room and your therapist will be with you shortly.  If you do not see the Waiting Room or are having trouble connecting to the internet, please contact your therapist via email or phone call.

If you are worried about ensuring your privacy during your online session, consider the following strategies:

If you have a private room, such as a bedroom or an office, you can play rain/ocean sounds and leave it by the door while you are on your laptop. The sounds on your phone will serve as "white noise" and block out your voice, so that no one can hear you from outside the room.

 

You can use Zoom, our online session platform, on your phone through the app or your phone's internet while taking a walk outside or sitting in your car.

You can ask your partner, family member(s), or roommate(s) to wear noise canceling headphones while you have your session.

 

You can arrange to have the session during a time when your partner, family member(s), or roommate(s) are taking a walk, working, or running an errand.

Troubleshooting Online Sessions

 

Once in a while, you and/or your therapist may encounter issues with Zoom or your internet service.  Try one or more of these strategies to see if they will remedy the situation.

●Do a speed test to see if your internet connection is operating at its optimal speed.  For example, you can use the following link to run the test: https://www.speedtest.net 

●Slow internet speed issues can be remedied by unplugging your router/gateway and rebooting the system.  You can also do this from your internet services app.

●Switch to having your session over a phone call with your therapist while either one or both of you is fixing the internet issue.  When your screen comes back on your computer, just mute yourselves on the screen and keep the phone on so that you can keep hearing each other in case the internet connection is unstable.

●Keep in mind that if your partner, children, family member(s), or roommate(s) are also on a video call, online video games, or streaming services at the same time as you are having your online session, this may slow up your internet connection.  

●If the connection keeps freezing, turn off your video on Zoom and you can continue talking to your therapist while your photos or names appear on the screen.

●For Zoom support, use this link: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362463-Wireless-WiFi-Connection-Issues

Spending too much time on tech support will take away from your session, so it is best to communicate with your therapist about a backup plan (i.e. switching to a phone session).

Many clients have concerns about online sessions at first, but once they have tried it, they often find that it's not so scary and that it can be a great alternative to in-person meetings. 

While in-person sessions are always ideal, we are fortunate to have the technology that allows us to continue our treatment when sitting across the room from our therapist is not possible.  Thrive Psychology has been at the forefront of this from the beginning and will continue to provide options to our clients as we confront an ever-changing society. 

Of course, if you have any questions or concerns that have not been addressed above, please feel free to reach out to us!
