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.

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?

If you are wondering if your child needs speech therapy, Dower and Associates in Aldie can help. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for children with autism and can help them develop communication skills and become more independent. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty changing conversation topics, and difficulty understanding other people’s body language. If you are concerned, Dower and Associates can provide complete guidance on speech therapy and help you understand if it is the right option for your child.
At Dower and Associates in Aldie, speech therapy is designed to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. Our experienced speech therapists are experts in helping with nonverbal skills, forming 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. We understand that stuttering can be a difficult issue for children, and our speech therapists are here to help. With our specialized speech therapy services, we can help your child improve their communication skills and build their confidence.
At Dower and Associates in Aldie, we are proud to offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a science-backed therapy that works to help individuals of all ages learn and improve communication, social, and daily living skills. Our ABA therapy is also focused on reducing problematic and challenging behaviors. Our ultimate goal is to provide individuals with the valuable skills that promote independence and self-sufficiency. To learn more, please visit our website for a comprehensive guide to understanding ABA therapy.
At Dower and Associates in Aldie, we understand that making the decision to pursue Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for your child is not easy. That’s why we offer a comprehensive guide to ABA so you can make an informed decision that best meets your child’s needs. We recognize that ABA is not a “cure” for autism, but rather a way to help children learn communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. Our goal is to help children reach their potential and maintain their unique, individual personality traits. With our guide, you can start and end ABA therapy with confidence, knowing that you are making the best decision for your child.
At Dower and Associates, located in Aldie, Virginia, we understand that cost is a major factor when considering ABA therapy for your family. That’s why we want to make sure you are aware of the potential coverage options through insurance. ABA therapy is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis, as this is typically the only diagnosis authorized for ABA services by insurance due to the well-researched benefits of ABA. We advise that you contact your insurance plan to confirm that ABA is included for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are interested in is in-network. To help guide you through the process, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy. With Dower and Associates, you can rest assured that you are getting the most up-to-date information on cost and insurance coverage when it comes to ABA therapy.
Contact Phone number is (703) 618-6180.
