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 Merakey in Harrisburg, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a scientifically-based therapy that works to teach individuals communication, social, and daily living skills. Ultimately, the goal of ABA is to help people increase their independence and reduce any problematic behaviors. Our team of experts is here to guide you through the process and provide everything you need to know about ABA therapy. Reach out to us today to learn more and get started on the path to success.
At Merakey Harrisburg, we understand that it’s a difficult decision, and we are here to help you make the best one for your family. Through applied behavior analysis (ABA), we seek to help you improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. We emphasize that high quality ABA therapy does exist and our goal is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Instead, our goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To help you decide, we have created a comprehensive guide to starting and finishing ABA therapy. Merakey Harrisburg is here to help you make the right decision for your child.
At Merakey Harrisburg, we understand that some families may be concerned about the cost of ABA therapy. We want to assure you that ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been extensively researched. We recommend that you reach out to your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. For more information about ABA therapy, please refer to our comprehensive guide.
Contact Phone number is (717) 657-0149.
