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 TLC Kids Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible to ensure their development. If your child is struggling with speaking, they might be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. For more information on speech therapy, visit our complete guide to learn everything you need to know.
At TLC Kids Therapy, we understand that speech therapy can help your child in many ways. Our experienced and knowledgeable speech therapists work with your child to help them communicate more effectively and confidently with the people in their lives. We specialize in providing therapy that covers a range of goals, including nonverbal skills, clearer speech formation, understanding and responding to questions, facial expressions, body language, and more. We also provide intervention for feeding and swallowing issues and stuttering. Reach out to us today to learn more about how we can help your child improve their communication skills.
At TLC Kids Therapy, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy – a service rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Our goal is to use ABA principles to teach helpful skills that will promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. We believe ABA can help children and adults improve their communication, social, and daily living skills. To learn more about our ABA therapy services, check out our comprehensive guide today.
At TLC Kids Therapy, we understand how important it is to understand the costs associated with ABA therapy and the insurance coverage available. Generally, insurance coverage for ABA therapy is offered if you have an autism diagnosis. In most cases, insurance providers will only authorize ABA therapy for autism-related diagnoses. We recommend you contact your insurance provider to check if your child’s diagnosis is covered, and verify that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. To help you navigate the process, we have put together a comprehensive guide on ABA therapy and its associated costs.
Contact Phone number is (210) 490-3900.
