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.

Have questions?

At Pacific Northwest Behavior, we offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior and is designed to help individuals develop communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills. The primary goal of our ABA therapy is to promote independence and reduce problematic or challenging behaviors. Our guide to ABA therapy provides everything you need to know about the therapy.
At Pacific Northwest Behavior, we understand that it can be difficult to decide if ABA therapy is the right choice for your child. We believe that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a viable option for many families, as it can help to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it is important to remember that ABA should never be used to try and “cure” someone of autism, but rather to help them learn and reach their full potential, while still embracing their unique traits. We have created a comprehensive guide to starting and ending ABA therapy, so that families can make the best possible decision for their child.
At Pacific Northwest Behavior, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a concern. To make it easier, ABA therapy is often covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. As autism is typically the only diagnosis that insurance will authorize coverage for ABA services, be sure to check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider is in-network. To help you find the best care for your child, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy to answer any questions you may have.
Contact Phone number is (509) 995-3388.
