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 Autism Learning Partners | Putnam, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is exhibiting any of the following signs, such as difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language, it might be time to talk to a professional about speech therapy. Early intervention is essential when it comes to language development, so it is important to get your child the help they need as soon as possible. Our complete guide to speech therapy can help you learn more about this important therapy and how it can benefit your child.
At Autism Learning Partners | Putnam, our goal is to provide the highest quality speech therapy services to help your child communicate effectively with others. With speech therapy, your child can learn to use gestures, simple signs, verbal speech and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our speech therapists will also provide guidance in nonverbal skills, 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 feeding and swallowing. With our help, your child can develop the skills to express themselves and engage with the world around them.
At Autism Learning Partners (Putnam), we are dedicated to educating the community about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a scientifically-based therapy that is used to help children and adults improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing any challenging behaviors. The primary goal of ABA therapy is to teach skills that support independence and reduce any negative behaviors. Our ABA guide provides all the information you need to know about this effective therapy.
At Autism Learning Partners | Putnam, we understand the importance of making the right decision for your family. That’s why we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand the ins and outs of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Our guide will help you understand how ABA therapy works and how it can help improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. We want to make sure you’re aware of potential pitfalls to watch out for when considering ABA therapy, like providers who look to “cure” autism. It’s important to remember that the goal of ABA therapy is to help individuals learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits.
