About Minnesota Autism Center | Woodbury Therapy Center

At Minnesota Autism Center (MAC), we specialize in providing therapeutic services to children and adolescents between 18 months and 21 years of age who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our Woodbury Therapy Center offers evidence-based, individualized treatment plans and group learning experiences based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. Our team of mental health professionals work in both center-based and in-home settings, delivering our services in a 1:1 or group learning ratio. We strive to provide our clients with the best possible care and outcomes.

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.
Learn how to start online therapy →
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 Minnesota Autism Center | Woodbury Therapy Center, we understand the importance of speech therapy for children with autism. It is often the first step of early intervention, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Speech therapy can help children learn effective ways of communication, improve their ability to respond to questions, start and end conversations, and understand other people’s body language. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or is completely non-verbal, speech therapy may be the right solution for them. Our comprehensive guide on speech therapy can provide you with more information to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your child.
At Minnesota Autism Center | Woodbury Therapy Center, we understand how important effective communication is for your child. Our speech therapy services are tailored to each individual, helping your child develop and strengthen the skills they need to communicate effectively. Through our speech therapy, we can help your child improve their nonverbal skills, form their speech more clearly, communicate their thoughts and feelings, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and emotions, notice and understand body language, and improve their feeding and swallowing abilities. With the help of our experienced staff, we can help your child reach their full potential.
At Minnesota Autism Center|Woodbury Therapy Center, we specialize in providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy – a treatment rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Our ABA therapies are tailored to help individuals of all ages learn to improve communication, social and daily living skills, while addressing challenging behaviors. Our aim is to provide the tools needed to promote independence and reduce undesirable behaviors. For more information on ABA therapy, check out our complete guide here.
At Minnesota Autism Center | Woodbury Therapy Center, we understand the importance of making the right decision when it comes to your child’s ABA therapy. We know that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can be a great way to help improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce any harmful behaviors. However, it is important to note that not all ABA providers are the same and that it is not meant to “cure” autism. We believe in providing high quality ABA therapy that focuses on helping individuals learn to their fullest potential while embracing their unique individual personality traits. If you are considering ABA therapy for your child, our team at Minnesota Autism Center | Woodbury Therapy Center can provide you with an in-depth guide to understand how to start and end ABA therapy.
