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 Vilij ABA, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a science-backed approach that focuses on helping children and adults learn and practice communication, social, and daily living skills. Through ABA, individuals can learn to reduce problematic behaviors and become more independent. To learn more, check out our comprehensive guide to ABA therapy.
At Vilij ABA, we understand that it’s a big decision to choose the right type of therapy for your child. Our Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is designed to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors while still embracing your child’s unique personality traits. With our guide on starting and ending ABA therapy, you can make an informed decision that is right for your family. We are committed to providing high quality ABA therapy that does not seek to “cure” autism or make children appear “less autistic.” At Vilij ABA, we strive to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential.
At Vilij ABA, we understand that cost can be a major concern when seeking ABA therapy. Generally, ABA is covered by insurance if you have a diagnosis of autism or a related disorder. However, it’s important to check with your specific insurance plan to make sure that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider is in-network. We have compiled a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy including cost, insurance coverage, and other important topics. Visit our website to learn more about ABA therapy and how it can help your family.
Contact Phone number is (630) 777-2800.
