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 Freedom First Psychological Services, PLLC, we understand the importance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA therapy helps children, adolescents, and adults develop communication and social skills, improve daily living skills, and reduce problematic behaviors. Our goal is to help empower our clients to gain independence and lead a more fulfilling life. Through our comprehensive ABA therapy services, we are dedicated to helping individuals reach their maximum potential and lead a more self-determined life.

At Freedom First Psychological Services, PLLC, we acknowledge that when it comes to determining if Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the right fit for your child, it is a big decision to make for your family. Our team of experts specialize in ABA therapy focused on increasing communication skills, productive habits and reducing any potentially harmful behaviors. We understand that many ABA providers have a goal to “cure” autism, rather than to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique personality traits. To help you make an informed decision, we have compiled a comprehensive guide on how to start and end ABA therapy. Contact us today to learn more and get the support you need!
At Freedom First Psychological Services, PLLC, we understand the importance of ABA therapy for those with autism diagnoses. To help you understand more about ABA therapy costs, we’ve created a comprehensive guide.

At Freedom First Psychological Services, PLLC, we strive to make ABA therapy accessible and affordable for those with autism.
Contact Phone number is (518) 560-4277.
