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.
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 BASES Autism Services, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. However, speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Our guide to speech therapy is designed to help you understand the critical period in the brain for language development and the importance of teaching language and communication skills early on. This guide will also provide you with the information you need to recognize if your child is struggling with speaking, including signs like being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. With speech therapy, your child can learn effective ways to communicate, setting them on the path to independence and confidence. To find out more, explore our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
At BASES Autism Services, we are dedicated to providing personalized speech therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our experienced speech therapists can help your child develop a wide range of communication skills, including verbal speech, nonverbal skills, understanding and responding to questions, forming speech in a clearer way, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. With our help, your child can learn how to communicate more effectively with others in all environments.
At BASES Autism Services, we understand how important Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is for children and adults with autism. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior, and its primary goal is to teach essential skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. We offer comprehensive ABA therapy services, providing guidance and support to help our clients reach their full potential. With our expert team of therapists, we strive to provide the best ABA therapy experience possible. From teaching communication and social skills to addressing challenging behaviors, BASES Autism Services is here to help. Learn more about our ABA therapy services today.
At BASES Autism Services, we believe that it’s important to make the right decision for your family. That’s why we provide a complete guide to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy—to help you make an informed decision about whether it’s right for your child. We understand that ABA therapy can have a positive impact on communication skills, habits, and behaviors, but not all providers offer the same quality of services. Some may look to “cure” autism, but at BASES Autism Services, our goal is to help individuals embrace their unique personality traits and unlock their full potential. For more information on ABA therapy, please explore our guide and contact us with any questions.
At BASES Autism Services, we understand the importance of ABA therapy for those diagnosed with autism. The cost of ABA therapy will depend on your specific insurance plan. Generally, insurance plans will cover ABA services with an autism diagnosis. However, it is always recommended to check with your insurance provider to ensure ABA therapy is covered and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. For more information, we have created a guide on ABA therapy that answers all of your questions.
Contact Phone number is (630) 999-8227.
