How Much Is Online Therapy?

Online Therapy: How it Works

When your daily life has become overwhelming, or if you are in a difficult place in your life due to stress, bereavement, divorce, unemployment, anxiety, or another mental health issue, online therapy may be able to help you. Online therapy (also called teletherapy, virtual therapy, or online counseling) is usually a live video chat through a secure web portal or chat app between you and a counselor, therapist, or psychiatrist. This option has become much more popular since the COVID-19 pandemic because in-person visits were not possible, and the need for mental health care and the conversation around seeking mental health services has grown exponentially.

Therapy can be helpful to anybody, as everybody has something in their lives that they are dealing with. You do not need to seek counseling until you are diagnosed with a mental health issue like depression. Therapy can help you find the roots of underlying issues, deal with symptoms of mental illness, gain awareness of what may be causing your everyday stress, aid with insomnia, or even just help you to live a higher quality of life through the support and guidance of a professional.

Many people prefer online therapy to face-to-face because it is:

• Discreet – you can get the help you need from the comfort of your own home, and medical providers in the US are legally required to maintain patient confidentiality, so you can rest assured that your sessions will be private, they will not be recorded, and nobody else will be around during your session
• Convenient – schedule your treatments at a time that works best for you, in the morning, evening, or even on your lunch break. Online therapy is also a good option for people who need to travel often for work
• Effective – you receive the same level of care as you would in person, meeting face-to-face with your therapist online, with the same treatments and methods provided
• Accessible – not everybody can leave their home to get to therapy appointments, and some people live in remote areas without access to adequate mental health care, so being able to get treatment online allows more people to receive the help they need

Does Insurance Cover Online Therapy?

Insurance will usually cover some or all of your online therapy thanks to recent legislation, but your exact coverage will depend on the insurance company’s policies. At You Behavioral Health, costs will vary, depending on your coverage. We are in-network with major insurance companies like Cigna, Humana, Aetna, and others, and we are happy to help you figure out what your treatments will cost and whether they are covered. Just contact our mental health center and our insurance specialists will help you determine your coverage level and how much you may need to pay out of pocket. If your coverage changes during your treatment, just let us know, and we will do all we can to ensure your treatment is not interrupted.

How Much Is Online Therapy?

The cost of online therapy depends on your treatment and service needs, as well as the length of time and the number of treatments you are accessing. Overall, online therapy usually costs less than in-person treatments, but the cost will depend on how much your insurance plan will cover.
While considering the monetary cost of therapy is important, it is also a good idea to consider less tangible benefits to seeking therapy, like:

• Living a more fulfilled and happier life
• Building better relationships with loved ones
• Gaining life skills like communication and stress reduction tools and learning to make healthier choices
• Sleeping better and improved physical well-being like a reduction of chronic pain and lowered blood pressure
• Learning to change negative thought patterns, which will help you feel better and behave in healthier ways
• Improving your productivity at work and increasing your daily levels of creativity
• Feeling more empowered, with improved mental function
• Improving your management skills when it comes to addictions and behavioral health challenges
• Overcoming the difficult or psychologically painful symptoms of mental health disorders
