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.

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 Penfield Children’s Center, we know that speech therapy can be a critical part of early intervention for autistic children. It is important to start speech therapy as soon as possible to help children develop their language and communication skills. With our guide, you can learn more about when your child might need speech therapy, the benefits of it, and how to get started. Our experienced team of professionals can help you decide if speech therapy is right for your child and provide specialized care tailored to their individual needs. We are committed to helping every child reach their full potential and develop the skills necessary for successful communication.
At Penfield Children’s Center, our speech therapists specialize in empowering your child with the communication skills they need to succeed in any environment. We focus on improving nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and emotions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even addressing stuttering. Our goal is to help your child find the right balance between verbal, nonverbal, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) skills so they can express themselves confidently.
