One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with their therapist using the method that works best for them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity during life changes.



Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and clients can switch to a different therapist if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many seeking support, online therapy provides an accessible and practical way to engage with therapeutic care while working toward personal goals.
