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 Speech Pathology Group in Walnut Creek, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. While it is almost always recommended for autistic children since many of them have difficulty with social communication, there are also many other signs to look out for. If your child is struggling with responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, or understanding other people’s body language, they may benefit from speech therapy. Early intervention is key when it comes to language development and helping your child become a more independent and confident individual. Our guide to speech therapy can help you to better understand how to identify if your child needs help and how to get them the help they need.
At Speech Pathology Group Walnut Creek, we are committed to helping children communicate effectively and confidently. Our speech therapists specialize in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of communication and swallowing disorders. Using a range of techniques, such as verbal speech, gestures, signs, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), our team can help children with nonverbal skills, forming clear speech, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, interpreting facial expressions and body language, and reducing stuttering. We strive to provide comprehensive and personalized care to ensure your child is receiving the support they need.
At Speech Pathology Group in Walnut Creek, we offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children and adults. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior and is designed to help individuals improve their communication, social, and daily living skills. Our goal is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce problematic behaviors. Learn more about ABA therapy with our comprehensive guide.
At Speech Pathology Group in Walnut Creek, we understand that deciding whether ABA therapy is right for your child is a big decision. We can provide you with reliable information on ABA, including the purpose of ABA, potential providers, and how to start and end ABA therapy. We strive to provide quality ABA therapy that seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors, while respecting and embracing the unique, individual personality traits of each child. Our guide can help you make the best decision for you and your family.
At Speech Pathology Group Walnut Creek, we understand the importance of the cost of ABA therapy and the need to find a quality provider. We understand that insurance usually covers ABA services if you have an autism diagnosis and that it is typically the only diagnosis that they authorize. We recommend that you always check with your insurance plan to confirm if ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. We also have a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy that provides you with all the information you need to know.
Contact Phone number is (925) 945-1474.
