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.

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 Diane Willcutts Advocate, we understand the importance of speech therapy and the critical period of language development for autistic children. That’s why we have developed a comprehensive guide to help you determine whether your child needs speech therapy. Our guide covers essential topics such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. It also highlights the importance of early intervention and how speech therapy can help your child become more independent and confident. If you notice that your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy. Our guide is here to provide you with helpful information and resources to make the best decision for your child.
At Diane Willcutts, Advocate, we understand how important it is to have effective communication in all environments. We provide speech therapy to help your child communicate better. Our team of experienced professionals can help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, and more. We also offer assistance with feeding and swallowing, as well as with stuttering. Our speech therapy services are designed to help your child communicate in the best possible way.
At Diane Willcutts, Advocate, we understand the importance of ABA therapy for children and adults. Our team of experienced professionals is here to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about this type of therapy. Our comprehensive guide to ABA therapy covers the basics, including what it is, how it works, and the benefits it can have on a person’s life. With our guidance, you can make sure that the ABA therapy you receive is tailored to your individual needs, allowing you to get the most out of the experience. Let us help you make the most of ABA therapy and reach your goals.
At Diane Willcutts Advocate, we understand that making a big decision like whether Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is right for your child can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you start and end ABA therapy with confidence. We believe that ABA should be utilized as a tool to help children reach their potential and embrace their unique personalities, not as a means to “cure” autism or make someone appear “less autistic”. We want to ensure you have the information you need to make an informed decision and are here to help you every step of the way.
Diane Willcutts, Advocate, is here to provide the answers you’re seeking on the cost of ABA therapy. ABA therapy is usually covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis, as this is typically the only diagnosis that insurance will authorize for ABA services. To make sure ABA therapy is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network, it’s important to check with your insurance plan. For more information, Diane Willcutts, Advocate, has created a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy.
