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 Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center, Niagara Falls, we understand how important it is to recognize the need for speech therapy for your child. If your child is autistic, they may show difficulty with social communication and need help in areas such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a major part of early intervention for autistic children and should be considered if there are any delays in communication skills. Through speech therapy, your child can learn effective ways to communicate which will help them become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be an indication that they should begin speech therapy. To learn more about speech therapy and how it can help your child, take a look at our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy at Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center, Niagara Falls.
At Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center in Niagara Falls, our team of experienced speech therapists can help your child improve their communication skills through a variety of methods. We specialize in teaching nonverbal skills, helping to form 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. Our experienced staff is committed to helping your child reach their communication goals.
Contact Phone number is (716) 236-7887.
