Common Questions About Online Therapy

How much does online therapy cost?

Online therapy typically costs between $60–$150 per session. Many platforms offer weekly subscription plans. Sliding scale fees are also common for those who qualify. Compared to traditional in-person therapy ($150–$300/session), online is significantly more affordable.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed studies — including research published in the Journal of Psychological Disorders — confirm that online therapy produces equivalent outcomes to in-person therapy for conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress.

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?

No. You don't need a diagnosis to begin therapy. Many people start therapy to manage stress, improve relationships, work through life transitions, or simply have a consistent space to process their thoughts. A therapist will assess your needs in your first session.

What's the difference between a therapist, psychologist, and psychiatrist?

A therapist (counselor/LCSW) provides talk therapy. A psychologist holds a doctoral degree and can conduct psychological testing. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. Most people start with a therapist.

How do I know if a therapist is right for me?

The therapeutic relationship is the single biggest predictor of success. Most good therapists offer a free or discounted first session. It's completely normal to try 2–3 therapists before finding the right fit. Shemesh Wellness helps match you with the right therapist from the start.
