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 Florissa, a division of Kreider Services, Inc., we understand that it can be hard to tell if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help them with their social communication. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention and can help your child develop the language and communication skills they need to be more independent and confident. Signs that your child might need help with their speaking abilities include difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures, or understanding body language. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy. If you have any questions about your child’s speech development, our experienced team of professionals is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about how Florissa can help your child reach their full potential.
Contact Phone number is (815) 288-1905.
