Online Therapy vs In-Person Therapy

Not sure whether to see a therapist in person or online? This comparison highlights why online therapy is often the more flexible and accessible option.

Thinking about online sessions instead? See online therapy options
Aspect In-Person Therapy Online Therapy (often more flexible)
Convenience & Time ✖️ Requires travel, scheduling time off, and a fixed location. ✔️ No travel; join from home, office, or car when it suits you.
Scheduling Flexibility ✖️ Mostly office hours; fewer last-minute or out-of-hours options. ✔️ Early morning, evening, and lunchtime sessions are easier to find.
Comfort & Privacy ✖️ Waiting rooms, chance of meeting someone you know, commuting when feeling low. ✔️ Talk from your safest private space at home or elsewhere; no waiting room.
Therapist Availability ✖️ Limited to providers within driving distance and local specialties. ✔️ Access a much wider pool of therapists, including niche expertise.
Cost & Extra Time ✖️ Parking, travel expenses, and extra commuting time around each session. ✔️ No travel or parking costs; time is spent on the session, not the journey.
Accessibility ✖️ Harder for rural areas, busy parents, chronic illness or mobility issues. ✔️ Accessible from anywhere with internet; ideal for busy or remote lifestyles.
Consistency ✖️ Travel, moving, or bad weather can interrupt or cancel sessions. ✔️ Continue therapy even while travelling or during bad weather days.
Best For ✖️ Situations where physical presence or hands-on support is essential. ✔️ Most stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions.
Limitations ✖️ Less flexible; easier to miss sessions due to travel or schedule conflicts. ✔️ Requires internet and a private space; not suitable for emergency situations.

Bottom line: For most people, online therapy offers the best mix of convenience, comfort, and therapist choice—while still providing high-quality support.

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.

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 Alternatives ABA in Plymouth, we understand how important it is to identify if your child needs speech therapy. We can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy by looking for signs such as difficulty with social communication, difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty changing conversation topics, and difficulty understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, and we are committed to helping your child learn effective ways to communicate in order to grow into more independent and confident individuals. Our guide can help you learn everything you need to know about speech therapy and how to determine if it is necessary for your child.
At Alternatives ABA in Plymouth, we understand how important it is for your child to communicate effectively with others. Our experienced speech therapists can help your child in a variety of ways, including teaching them nonverbal skills such as signs and gestures, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and assisting with feeding and swallowing. We also provide Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) services to give your child a broader range of communication options. Our goal is to help your child develop their communication skills and express their thoughts and feelings.
At Alternatives ABA in Plymouth, we understand the importance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior, which helps children and adults learn new skills, improve communication, develop social skills, and address problematic behaviors. Our goal is to provide our clients with the tools they need to be independent and successful. We have compiled a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy, so you can find all the information you need in one place.
At Alternatives ABA in Plymouth, we understand the financial impact of ABA therapy can have on families. That’s why we strive to ensure that all of our clients have access to quality services that are affordable and covered by insurance. Generally, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. However, it is important to review your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. To help you understand the costs of ABA therapy and the insurance coverage that may be available, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to answer all of your questions. Visit Alternatives ABA in Plymouth today to learn more about how we can help you and your family.
