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.

At Educational and Developmental Therapies Aptos, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a science-based approach that is used to help children and adults improve their communication, social, and daily living skills while also addressing challenging behaviors. Our goal is to teach beneficial skills that promote autonomy and reduce or eliminate negative behaviors. Learn more about ABA therapy with our comprehensive guide.
At Educational and Developmental Therapies in Aptos, we understand that it’s a big decision to make for your family. Our goal is to help you understand the potential of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. We strive to ensure that ABA therapy is not used as a tool to ‘cure’ autism, but rather to help children learn to their potential while embracing their unique personality traits. Our guide on ABA therapy provides you with information on how to start and end ABA therapy sessions. With our expertise, you can be sure that your child’s developmental needs are met with the right approach.
At Educational and Developmental Therapies in Aptos, we know that navigating the cost of ABA therapy can be confusing. Generally, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. However, it’s important to check with your insurance plan to make sure it’s covered and that the provider is in-network. To help you make sense of it all, we’ve written a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy that explains the cost, benefits, and more. Learn more about ABA therapy today.
