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 Within Reach in California, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended due to many people with autism having difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. Signs that your child might need speech therapy include difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures, or understanding other people’s body language. Our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy can help you understand the importance of speech therapy for children and how it can help them become more independent and confident individuals.
At Speech Within Reach, we understand how important communication is for your child. Our team of certified speech therapists in California are here to help. We offer a range of services to help your child improve their speech and language, including nonverbal skills, forming speech more clearly, and understanding facial expressions. Additionally, we offer assistance with feeding and swallowing, as well as stuttering. With Speech Within Reach, your child can reach their communication goals.
Contact Phone number is (800) 689-8211.
