For these kinds of issues, online sessions can be a useful alternative to in-person meetings and often allow people to maintain consistent care while managing other responsibilities.

One of the main advantages of remote therapy is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists through a variety of formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - and choose the mode that feels most comfortable and convenient. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue care during major life changes.

Therapists who offer remote services are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is needed.
