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 Blue Balloon ABA, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If you notice that your child is struggling with social communication, like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, understanding body language, or even if they are very quiet, it is important to consider speech therapy. Speech therapy is typically recommended for autistic children and can be a great way to help them develop language and communication skills. At Blue Balloon ABA, we provide a comprehensive guide to help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy, so you can make the best decision for your child.
At Blue Balloon ABA, we understand how important it is for children to communicate effectively in all environments. Our speech therapists specialize in helping children with nonverbal skills, clearer speech, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, and feeding and swallowing. We also support children who stutter, and use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to help children express their thoughts and feelings. Our speech therapists create an individualized plan to help your child reach their goals and maximize their potential.
At Blue Balloon ABA, we offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to help children and adults improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior, with the primary goal of teaching helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Learn more about ABA therapy with our comprehensive guide.
At Blue Balloon ABA, we understand it can be a difficult decision to make whether ABA is right for your child. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a form of therapy used to help improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. We want to make sure you’re informed about the type of ABA therapy that is available and how it can help your family. We provide comprehensive guides to help you start and end ABA therapy, ensuring that the goal is not to “cure” autism, but rather to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits.
Blue Balloon ABA is committed to providing families with everything they need to know about ABA therapy and its associated costs. Generally speaking, ABA is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. However, it’s important to always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. Our guide gives you a complete overview of ABA therapy costs, so you can make the best decision for your family.
