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 The Children’s Therapy Center in Sterling, VA, 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 autistic individuals having difficulty with social communication. Even if your child has a wide vocabulary, they may still need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, transitioning between topics, or understanding body language. Early intervention provides children with the best opportunity to learn and grow, and speech therapy is often the starting point for recently diagnosed kids. If your child isn’t speaking much, or only a few words, speech therapy can help them develop effective communication skills and grow into more confident and independent individuals. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Visit The Children’s Therapy Center in Sterling, VA today and let us help you and your child get the most out of speech therapy.
At The Children’s Therapy Center in Sterling, VA, our experienced speech therapists can help your child with many areas of communication, including nonverbal skills, forming speech, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering. We support and empower your child to communicate effectively with others through the use of gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our team is here to help your child build communication skills that will last a lifetime.
Contact Phone number is (703) 707-9060.
