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 Encompass Therapy Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know when your child needs speech therapy. If your child has autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended because many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. They may need help with responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key and can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, leading to increased independence and confidence. In some cases, it may be obvious when a child struggles with speaking—they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about speech therapy, please visit our website for a complete guide to everything you need to know.
At Encompass Therapy Center, our speech therapists are here to assist your child in reaching their communication goals. We strive to help your child increase their verbal communication, develop nonverbal skills like signing or gesturing, form speech in a clearer way, communicate thoughts and feelings clearly, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and their associated emotions, notice and understand body language, and improve their feeding and swallowing. With our experienced speech therapists, you can be sure that your child will be on the right track to effective communication.
At Encompass Therapy Center, we are dedicated to helping children and adults improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior and focuses on teaching helpful skills to promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Learn more about ABA therapy with our guide here at Encompass Therapy Center.
At Encompass Therapy Center, we understand the importance of making sure that ABA is right for your family. We provide high quality ABA therapy that has the goal of helping children learn to their fullest potential while maintaining their individual personality traits. We have a complete guide to help you start and end ABA therapy and strive to provide the best care for your family. Our team is committed to helping you make the best decision for your child, so please contact us to learn more about ABA and if it is the right fit for your family.
At Encompass Therapy Center, we understand the importance of ABA therapy and the potential it has to help those with an autism diagnosis. We understand the importance of understanding exactly how much ABA therapy will cost. That’s why we created a complete guide to answer all your questions about the cost of ABA therapy. From what insurance covers to understanding in-network providers, our guide will help you get the most out of ABA therapy for your family. Get all the answers you need to know about the cost of ABA therapy at Encompass Therapy Center.
