Could remote counseling be a good fit?

Online therapy can be an effective option for many people facing common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Research and clinical experience indicate that for many of these issues, online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility - people can connect with licensed professionals in whichever format suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue care through changes in schedule or location.

Licensed professionals and therapists offering remote care aim to provide the same therapeutic approaches and goals as in-person work, and individuals may change therapists if they would like a different fit.
