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?

Behavioral Perspective Inc. in Springfield is committed to providing families with the best advice and guidance when it comes to speech therapy for their children. Our guide covers everything you need to know about speech therapy, and whether or not your child will benefit from it. Many autistic children have difficulty with social communication, and speech therapy is almost always recommended to help them develop language and communication skills. Our guide outlines the signs to look out for if you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, such as difficulty responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, or understanding body language. Early intervention is key for autistic children, so it’s important to consider speech therapy as soon as possible to help with language development. Let us help you give your child the best start in life with our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
At Behavioral Perspective Inc. in Springfield, we understand the importance of communication and how speech therapy can help. Our speech therapists provide comprehensive services to improve communication skills, ranging from nonverbal skills and understanding of facial expressions to forming speech clearly and responding to questions. We also specialize in helping those with difficulties related to stuttering and swallowing. Our experienced team works with you to develop a custom plan that best meets your child’s individual needs and goals. We strive to provide the highest level of care to help your child achieve their communication goals and develop the skills necessary to interact with the world around them.
At Behavioral Perspective Inc. in Springfield, we are proud to offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a science-based approach to helping children and adults learn new skills and reduce problematic behaviors. Our ABA therapy program is designed to promote independence and improve communication, social, and daily living skills. Looking for more information about ABA therapy? Check out our comprehensive guide for everything you need to know.
At Behavioral Perspective Inc. in Springfield, we understand the importance of ABA therapy and the cost associated with it. ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis and is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively. It’s important to always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. Behavioral Perspective Inc. provides a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy, so you can make an informed decision about your child’s care.
