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.

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.

With Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, we strive to work with your family to help your child communicate more effectively, develop new positive habits, and reduce any challenging behaviors. Our experts are here to provide high quality ABA therapy and support that does not focus on “curing” or “fixing” your child, but rather helping them reach their full potential while embracing their unique personality traits.

At Action Behavior Centers | Woodlands Research, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a concern.

Before deciding on a provider, we recommend that you confirm with your insurance plan that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis, as well as that the provider is in-network. To learn more about ABA therapy, please refer to our comprehensive guide for everything you need to know.
