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.

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 Rachel Stern, Speech/Language Therapist, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic and is having difficulty with social communication, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Even if your child is very verbal, they may still benefit from speech therapy to learn communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is also important in early intervention for autistic children, and can help them develop language skills and become more independent. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or isn’t speaking at all, it might be time to consider speech therapy. Check out our comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy today.
At Rachel Stern Speech/Language Therapy, we understand the importance of communication in all aspects of life. We provide comprehensive speech therapy services that enable your child to communicate more effectively. Our speech therapy services include: nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures; forming speech in a clearer way; communicating thoughts and feelings clearly; understanding and responding to questions; discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions; noticing and understanding body language; and feeding and swallowing. We strive to empower your child to communicate fully and confidently in all environments.
Contact Phone number is (954) 649-7080.
