Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy

  • During your first session, you'll have the opportunity to share your concerns and goals with your therapist, who will listen carefully and ask questions to understand your situation better. This session is primarily about building rapport and getting a sense of how therapy can best support you.

  • The timeline for progress in therapy varies for each individual, depending on the nature of the issues being addressed and the goals set. Some people start to notice changes within a few sessions, while others may take longer. Consistency and active participation play a significant role in the therapeutic process.

  • Therapy is working when you begin to notice positive changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These changes might include improved coping strategies, better relationships, increased self-awareness, and a greater sense of well-being. Your therapist will also regularly check in with you about your progress and adjust the approach as needed.

  • It's normal to feel hesitant about discussing sensitive topics. Your therapist is trained to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can gradually explore these areas at your own pace. You are encouraged to share your feelings of discomfort with your therapist, as this can help build trust and guide the therapeutic process.

  • Choosing between life coaching and therapy depends on your goals and current challenges.

    Life coaching focuses on setting goals and creating action plans for personal growth and future success. Therapy addresses emotional challenges, mental health concerns, and healing from past experiences.

  • Yes, therapy can be beneficial for managing everyday stress, enhancing personal growth, and improving overall well-being. It provides tools and strategies to handle life's challenges more effectively, regardless of their size or impact.

  • Rather than giving direct advice, therapists typically guide you in exploring your own thoughts and feelings to help you make informed decisions. They provide support, offer new perspectives, and help you develop the skills needed to navigate your challenges independently.

  • Yes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person therapy for many individuals. It offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your own home while still experiencing the benefits of therapy. Online therapy at Embrace Counseling and Consultation Services may be done via video or phone, depending on your preference and therapist availability.

  • Experiencing a range of emotions during therapy is normal. Your therapist will help you process these feelings and develop coping strategies. It's important to give yourself grace and understand that emotional responses are part of the healing process.
