Why Chesapeake families choose online speech therapy

Chesapeake is one of Virginia’s largest cities by area, which means ‘nearby’ therapy often isn’t — a clinic across the city from Great Bridge or Western Branch can be a 40-minute drive in traffic. Online sessions erase the geography: your child works with a licensed Virginia SLP from your living room, on a schedule that survives soccer practice and shift work.

Many of our Chesapeake families use Stoa alongside Chesapeake Public Schools services, or to bridge the wait for a school evaluation.

What we treat

Our Virginia-licensed SLPs work with the full range of communication needs: speech and language delays, late talkers, articulation disorders (including R sounds and lisps), language disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, speech therapy for autistic children, stuttering, voice disorders, and aphasia in adults.

Areas we serve

We also serve families throughout South Hampton Roads, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk. Because therapy is 100% online with clinicians licensed statewide, every family in Virginia can access the same care.

Frequently asked questions

How much does speech therapy cost in Chesapeake?

Most families we serve pay between $0 and $30 per visit after insurance. We accept Virginia Medicaid (Cardinal Care) and most major commercial plans, and we verify your benefits for free before your first appointment. We’re also in-network with Anthem in Virginia.

How fast can my child be seen?

Most families complete a free consultation within a couple of days and schedule an evaluation shortly after — compared with waits of weeks or months at many Chesapeake-area clinics. No physician referral is required.

Does online speech therapy work as well as in-person?

Yes. Research consistently shows telehealth speech therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person care for articulation, language, fluency, and voice. Sessions are live and interactive, and parents are coached as active partners — one of the strongest predictors of progress.

What do we need for sessions?

A computer or tablet with a camera and a reasonably stable internet connection. Your SLP handles the rest — games, materials, and activities are all built into the session.
