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 Maxim Healthcare Services, 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. Our team of experienced professionals can provide you with the guidance and resources you need to determine if your child needs speech therapy. We can help you understand the critical period in the brain for language development and how speech therapy can help your child become more independent and confident. Our guide to speech therapy can help you better understand the process and what you need to know. Contact us today to learn more about how Maxim Healthcare Services can help you and your child.
At Maxim Healthcare Services, we believe that speech therapy can be an important part of a holistic approach to helping your child improve their communication skills in all environments. Our speech therapists can help your child develop their nonverbal skills, form speech in a clearer way, communicate thoughts and feelings more effectively, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, notice and understand body language, and more. Additionally, our therapists can also help with feeding and swallowing, and stuttering. No matter the needs of your child, Maxim Healthcare Services can provide the right support and guidance to help them reach their communication goals.
Contact Phone number is (805) 788-0456.
