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 RUSH Kids Pediatric Therapy, we understand how important it is to identify if your child needs speech therapy. If you have any concerns about your child’s communication skills, our expert team can assess your child and provide the best possible care. We can help you determine if speech therapy is appropriate for your child and provide the vital language and communication skills they need to reach their full potential. We offer a comprehensive guide to speech therapy that explores the benefits, the potential risks, and everything else you need to know. Our team is dedicated to helping your child grow and develop into a confident and independent individual. Reach out to our team today to learn more about how we can help you and your child.
At RUSH Kids Pediatric Therapy, we strive to help your child develop their communication skills and foster meaningful interactions. Our speech therapists are dedicated to improving your child’s verbal speech, nonverbal skills, ability to form speech in a clear way, understanding and responding to questions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. We also use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to enable your child to communicate effectively in all environments. Our goal is to help your child become a more independent communicator.
At RUSH Kids Pediatric Therapy, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior, and it can help children and adults learn communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills, as well as reduce or manage unwanted behaviors. Our goal is to empower our patients to become independent and self-sufficient. If you’d like to learn more about ABA therapy, check out our guide for everything you need to know.
At RUSH Kids Pediatric Therapy, we understand that it is an important decision to make for your family when considering if ABA therapy is right for your child. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. We want to ensure that you are aware of potential ABA providers who may look to “cure” autism. At RUSH Kids Pediatric Therapy, we provide high quality ABA therapy with the goal of helping children learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To make the process easier, we have compiled a comprehensive guide to starting and ending ABA therapy. This guide will help you make the best decision for your family and child.
At RUSH Kids Pediatric Therapy, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a concern for many families. Generally, ABA services are covered by insurance if your child has a diagnosis of autism. Unfortunately, insurance typically only authorizes ABA services for autism diagnoses, as the benefits of ABA have been extensively researched. To ensure that ABA therapy is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network, we recommend that you check with your specific insurance plan. We also have a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy that can answer any additional questions you may have. With RUSH Kids Pediatric Therapy, you can feel confident that your child will receive the best quality of care and that you are getting the most value for your money.
Contact Phone number is (630) 907-9165.
