One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with a licensed professional in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

Licensed professionals offer a range of therapeutic styles and approaches, and clients may switch therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For many people, remote sessions make starting and maintaining therapy more practical while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic work with experienced therapists.
