Online Therapy vs In-Person Therapy

Not sure whether to see a therapist in person or online? This comparison highlights why online therapy is often the more flexible and accessible option.

Thinking about online sessions instead? See online therapy options
Aspect In-Person Therapy Online Therapy (often more flexible)
Convenience & Time ✖️ Requires travel, scheduling time off, and a fixed location. ✔️ No travel; join from home, office, or car when it suits you.
Scheduling Flexibility ✖️ Mostly office hours; fewer last-minute or out-of-hours options. ✔️ Early morning, evening, and lunchtime sessions are easier to find.
Comfort & Privacy ✖️ Waiting rooms, chance of meeting someone you know, commuting when feeling low. ✔️ Talk from your safest private space at home or elsewhere; no waiting room.
Therapist Availability ✖️ Limited to providers within driving distance and local specialties. ✔️ Access a much wider pool of therapists, including niche expertise.
Cost & Extra Time ✖️ Parking, travel expenses, and extra commuting time around each session. ✔️ No travel or parking costs; time is spent on the session, not the journey.
Accessibility ✖️ Harder for rural areas, busy parents, chronic illness or mobility issues. ✔️ Accessible from anywhere with internet; ideal for busy or remote lifestyles.
Consistency ✖️ Travel, moving, or bad weather can interrupt or cancel sessions. ✔️ Continue therapy even while travelling or during bad weather days.
Best For ✖️ Situations where physical presence or hands-on support is essential. ✔️ Most stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions.
Limitations ✖️ Less flexible; easier to miss sessions due to travel or schedule conflicts. ✔️ Requires internet and a private space; not suitable for emergency situations.

Bottom line: For most people, online therapy offers the best mix of convenience, comfort, and therapist choice—while still providing high-quality support.

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.

Functional Integrated Therapeutic Services (FITS) is here to help you understand if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, and can help them learn effective ways to communicate. If your child is struggling with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, they may benefit from speech therapy. FITS offers a complete guide to help you learn more about the signs and benefits of speech therapy. Our team of experienced therapists can provide tailored assessments, treatments, and care plans to ensure your child gets the best possible results. Contact us today to learn how we can help your child reach their full potential.
At Functional Integrated Therapeutic Services, we specialize in helping children achieve effective communication skills. Our speech therapy services aim to improve your child’s ability to express their thoughts and feelings clearly, understand questions and facial expressions, use gestures and signs, and even assist with feeding and swallowing. We strive to provide the best Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) therapy that helps your child learn to communicate effectively in all environments. Let us help your child develop the nonverbal and verbal skills they need for successful communication.
At Functional Integrated Therapeutic Services, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior and is designed to help children and adults learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. Our ABA therapists are dedicated to helping individuals reach their fullest potential and become more independent, and we offer a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy. To learn more about our services and how ABA therapy can help your family, contact us today!
At Functional Integrated Therapeutic Services, we understand that deciding if ABA is right for your child is a big decision. We specialize in helping families learn more about the different types of ABA therapy that exist. We believe in focusing on positive behaviors, communication skills, and productive habits while still embracing every individual’s unique personality traits. We also provide a comprehensive guide to help make starting and ending ABA therapy as stress-free as possible. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about ABA therapy, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
At Functional Integrated Therapeutic Services, we provide answers to the question of “How much does ABA therapy cost?”. ABA is usually covered by insurance for individuals with an autism diagnosis. If you have autism, it’s important to check with your insurance plan to make sure that ABA is covered and that your provider is in-network. Our team can provide you with a complete guide to understanding ABA therapy and its associated costs. Reach out to us today to learn more!
