One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care.

Therapists providing remote care are licensed professionals, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if they prefer a different fit. For those weighing whether remote therapy is right for them, the options available make it possible to access consistent therapeutic support in a way that aligns with individual needs and circumstances.
