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.

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 Children’s Choice For Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Autism can cause difficulty with social communication, and even if a child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is often the starting point for recently diagnosed children because there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Our guide to speech therapy provides you with everything you need to know about this essential intervention. With our expert help, your child can learn effective ways to communicate and grow into a more independent and confident person.
At Children’s Choice For Therapy, our speech therapists are dedicated to helping your child learn how to effectively communicate with others across all environments. We specialize in providing nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and stuttering. Our team of experienced professionals will work with your child to develop the skills needed to communicate with confidence.
Contact Phone number is (813) 962-6766.
