Can trauma therapy be done online?

Yes, treating PTSD online can be a successful strategy for managing post-traumatic stress disorder.

Is online therapy and treatment effective for PTSD?

Research has demonstrated that online therapies are comparable to in-person treatments for many mental health conditions, including PTSD. Online therapy also offers greater convenience, privacy, and flexibility than in-person or group therapy sessions.

What are the signs and symptoms of PTSD?

PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that occurs in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD include: 

  • night terrors or flashbacks related to a traumatic event
  • difficulty sleeping
  • feeling jumpy and on edge
  • avoiding activities, places, or people that bring back memories from past trauma
  • struggling with concentration
  • displaying outbursts of anger or irritability frequently
  • becoming emotionally numb and apathetic towards once-enjoyed activities
  • depression or anxiety triggered by reminders from previous experiences

What can I expect from PTSD therapy?

PTSD treatment teaches you coping skills for PTSD and encourages self-care. You can expect to learn about setting and enforcing boundaries. Within each therapy session, you’ll work with a mental health care provider to learn coping skills for managing triggers.

How many online PTSD therapy sessions will I need?

It depends on each individual’s unique situation. Sometimes 8 - 12 sessions are enough for people to see an improvement in PTSD symptoms. However, ongoing therapy is incredibly beneficial for your mental health.

Can an online psychiatrist prescribe medication for PTSD?

Yes, our online psychiatrists or medical providers trained in psychiatric treatment may prescribe medications for PTSD. Note that Talkspace does not prescribe controlled substances or sedatives.

Is treatment for PTSD covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover at least part of the expense of treating PTSD, depending on plan specifics and the deductible amount paid out of pocket for each visit.

Talkspace online therapy and psychiatry plans take insurance. We currently accept insurance from Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, Optum, and more.
