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 The Behavior Guru LLC, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which is a form of therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior. ABA therapy helps individuals, both children and adults, improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills, while also addressing any challenging or problematic behaviors they may have. Our goal is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. To learn more, please check out our comprehensive guide to ABA therapy.
At The Behavior Guru LLC, we understand that it’s a big decision to make for your family when deciding if Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the right choice for your child. We’re here to help you make an informed decision by providing you with a complete guide to start and end ABA therapy, as well as giving you advice about what to watch out for when choosing an ABA provider. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge to help your child learn all that they can, so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. We want to ensure that ABA therapy is conducted in a way that seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors – not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Reach out to The Behavior Guru LLC with any questions or concerns you may have in regards to ABA.
The Behavior Guru LLC provides comprehensive information about ABA therapy and its associated costs. Generally, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Other diagnoses may not be covered, so it’s important to confirm with your specific insurance provider. To learn more about ABA therapy and its costs, visit our website and read our complete guide. We’re here to help you determine what services are covered and how to maximize your benefits.
Contact Phone number is (866) 960-9898.
