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.

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 Fern Leaf ABA, we understand the importance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and how it can help children and adults learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior and its primary goal is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Get the full guide to ABA therapy from Fern Leaf ABA today and learn all you need to know about ABA therapy!
At Fern Leaf ABA, we offer comprehensive ABA therapy for children who may benefit from it. We understand that this is a big decision for families to make, and we strive to provide the best possible treatment. Our ABA program is designed to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors, without trying to “cure” autism or change someone’s unique identity. We’ve put together a guide to help you understand ABA therapy, what to look for, and how to start and end the process. With the right ABA therapy provider, you and your child can be successful in achieving your goals.
At Fern Leaf ABA, we understand that you may be curious about the cost of ABA therapy. Generally, ABA is covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Insurance companies typically only authorize ABA services for this diagnosis as its benefits have been widely researched. We always recommend confirming with your insurance plan to verify that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. To help with this, we have created a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy that covers everything you need to know.
Contact Phone number is (618) 969-2734.
