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.

At Milestones Therapy in Olympia Fields, we understand how speech therapy can help with many of the challenges children face. Our speech therapists are dedicated to helping children improve their communication skills, including nonverbal skills, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). We also focus on helping children form speech in a clearer way, express their thoughts and feelings, comprehend and respond to questions, recognize facial expressions and body language, and develop better feeding and swallowing skills. Our speech therapy services help children reach their communication milestones.
At Milestones Therapy, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a science-based therapy that helps children and adults improve communication, social, and daily living skills while addressing problematic behaviors. ABA’s primary goal is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce the occurrence of harmful behaviors. Our team of specialists is here to provide the guidance, tools, and resources needed to help you achieve your goals and get the most out of ABA therapy. Visit our website for more information about ABA therapy and to learn how Milestones Therapy can help you on your journey.
At Milestones Therapy in Olympia Fields, we understand that making the decision to pursue ABA therapy for your child is a big one. That’s why we provide high-quality ABA therapy that focuses on helping children learn and grow to their potential with the understanding that autism is a unique part of their personality. Our comprehensive guide will help you get started and know when to end ABA therapy. We’ll provide you with the tools and resources to make sure your child is safe and secure along their journey.
