Understanding online psychodynamic therapy

What is psychodynamic therapy and how does it work?

Psychodynamic therapy is an approach that focuses on understanding the deeper, unconscious emotions and motivations that shape a person's behavior. It’s rooted in the belief that past experiences, particularly those from childhood, have a significant impact on current behavior and mental health. The therapy involves exploring these past experiences and their emotional aftermath to gain insights into present issues. The goal of this therapy is to identify patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, understand their origins, resolve inner conflicts, and work toward creating healthier relationships.

Psychodynamic therapy may not be the best treatment for your needs. It's important to understand the process and discuss this treatment method with a mental health professional.

Common issues addressed by psychodynamic therapy

Psychodynamic therapy can be effective for a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. It can be beneficial for individuals seeking to understand the deeper roots of their emotional difficulties and for those interested in exploring long standing personal patterns.

Potential benefits of online psychodynamic therap

Online psychodynamic therapy offers the convenience and comfort of receiving treatment from your home. It's convenient for those with busy lives, limited mobility, or prefer the privacy of their own space. Plus, the online format lets you connect with licensed therapists throughout your state, even if they’re not in your local area.

What to expect during an online psychodynamic therapy session

During an online psychodynamic therapy session, you can expect to engage in open-ended discussions with your therapist about your life experiences, thoughts, feelings, and dreams. The focus of the therapy is to explore how past experiences, including those from childhood, may influence your current emotions and behaviors. Your therapist will help you explore these areas to gain deeper insight into your emotional world, with an emphasis on understanding patterns that may impact your present life. This approach promotes self-reflection and insight, aiming to address current challenges and enhance emotional well-being.

Choosing the right psychodynamic therapist

Look for a therapist who’s trained and certified in psychodynamic therapy, and has experience relevant to your specific issues.
In the initial sessions, gauge whether you feel understood and comfortable with the therapist's style and approach. The therapeutic relationship is a key factor in the effectiveness of psychodynamic therapy.
Consider logistics like appointment availability and fees to ensure the therapist is within your budget and fits your schedule.

After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.
