Is online therapy actually effective?
Research shows that for many issues—such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties—online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. What often matters most is finding a therapist you connect with and staying consistent over time.
Learn how to start online therapy →
When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.
Explore flexible online therapy options →
Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.

Have questions?

At ABA Pathways | Alma, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which is a science-based approach to helping children and adults improve communication, social and daily living skills. Our goal is to teach helpful skills that promote independence while also reducing challenging behaviors. ABA Pathways | Alma provides comprehensive guides to all you need to know about ABA therapy.
At ABA Pathways, we understand that choosing the right therapy for your child can be a difficult decision. We believe that Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is an effective intervention to help children with autism improve their communication and introduce positive habits while reducing harmful behaviors. However, we urge families to be wary of providers who promise to “cure” autism, as this goal is not achievable and could be damaging. We strive to provide the highest quality ABA therapy with the goal of helping children reach their full potential while embracing their individual personality traits. If you are considering ABA therapy for your child, we invite you to explore our complete guide to start and end ABA therapy.
Contact Phone number is (989) 217-8873.
