About Connecticut Council on Developmental Disabilities

For almost 50 years, the Connecticut Council on Developmental Disabilities (CCDD) has been dedicated to creating opportunities and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities in the state of Connecticut. Since its establishment in 1971 by Governor Meskill, CCDD has received federal funding to develop a comprehensive plan for providing services to people with developmental disabilities. We work to ensure that all individuals with disabilities receive the support, services, and advocacy they need to thrive in their community and lead fulfilling lives. Our goal is to promote inclusivity and further the rights of people with disabilities, while also engaging in education, research, and policy reform initiatives. We strive to create a world where everyone has equal access and opportunity.

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.

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.
