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.

At Choices Behavioral Health, our expert team provides comprehensive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children and adults. Our ABA therapy services are rooted in the science of learning and behavior, and our primary goal is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. We provide a full range of ABA therapy services, including instruction in communication, social, and daily living skills. Our team is committed to helping our clients reach their fullest potential, and we’d love to guide you through the process of ABA therapy and all of its benefits. Learn more about ABA therapy with our complete guide.
At Choices Behavioral Health, we understand the importance of making the right choice when it comes to applied behavior analysis (ABA) for your child. We provide comprehensive guidance to help you make an informed decision about whether ABA is right for your family. Our goal is to help you make a decision that is based on understanding the potential benefits, side-effects, and long-term implications of ABA therapy. We provide resources to help you identify high-quality ABA providers, as well as to help you understand the difference between providers who look to “cure” autism and those who seek to help people reach their potential while embracing their unique individual personality traits. Contact us today for more information about ABA and to explore the best choices for your child.
At Choices Behavioral Health, we understand that ABA therapy can be a costly expense for many families. The good news is that ABA is often covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis, as autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services. However, it’s important to 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. To help you better understand ABA therapy and its associated costs, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide with everything you need to know.
Contact Phone number is (321) 305-5576.
