About Little Leaves Behavioral Services | White Marsh

At Little Leaves Behavioral Services in White Marsh, we provide center-based ABA programs for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our specialized program is tailored to preschool-aged children up to age 6 who have been recommended for intensive ABA services. Our team of trained behavior technicians provide one-on-one therapy sessions that focus on developing social communication, social interaction, and school readiness skills. Our program also includes individual therapy, small group activities with peers, and activities of daily living. We create an individualized schedule for each child based on their therapeutic needs, and some clients stay with us for the full day.

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.

Here at Little Leaves Behavioral Services in White Marsh, MD, we believe that ABA therapy can help children grow and develop in positive ways. Our goal is to help children learn and reach their full potential by creating productive habits, improving communication skills, and reducing harmful behaviors. We understand that ABA therapy is not a “one size fits all” approach, so we strive to create individualized plans that are tailored to each child’s unique needs.

At Little Leaves Behavioral Services in White Marsh, Maryland, we understand the importance of ABA therapy for your child’s diagnosis. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand the cost of ABA Therapy. Generally, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. While insurance will typically only authorize ABA services for an autism diagnosis, it’s important to always check with your insurance plan to make sure ABA therapy is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you’re seeking care from is in-network. Little Leaves Behavioral Services is here to help you and your child with ABA therapy and guide you through the cost process.
Contact Phone number is (202) 420-8359.
