What is online video therapy?

Online video therapy enables the skilled experts at Thriving Center of Psychology to provide high-quality treatment to you in the convenience of your home, office, or another location.

What are the benefits of online video therapy?

Online video therapy has obvious benefits, like eliminating travel time, parking, and other concerns that can interfere with in-office appointments.

Is online video therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Several studies comparing online therapy with in-person therapy show it to be equally effective for certain types of treatment, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Research also indicates that several mental health conditions can be successfully treated with online video therapy.
