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.

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.

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 Community Therapies Baby Steps in Lancaster, we understand that knowing when to seek speech therapy for your child can be a difficult decision. Speech therapy is a great option for children with autism, as many of these children may have difficulty with communication, such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, using gestures, or understanding body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention and can help your child develop language and communication skills, while also teaching them skills to become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, only uses a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it could be time to look into speech therapy. If you’re unsure about whether your child needs speech therapy, our complete guide can help answer all your questions and provide more information on this important topic.
At Community Therapies Baby Steps in Lancaster, we understand how important it is for your child to communicate effectively. Our speech therapists are here to help your child develop their skills by focusing on a variety of areas. We can help with nonverbal skills, forming speech, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding questions, recognizing facial expressions, discerning body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering. With our team of dedicated speech therapists, we can provide your child with the support they need to take their first steps in communication.
Contact Phone number is (661) 945-7878.
