It offers a range of communication methods so individuals can choose what feels most comfortable and convenient.

One major benefit of remote sessions is flexibility - appointments can occur as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals provide care through these formats, and clients typically have the option to change therapists if they want a different therapeutic match.

For people weighing their options, online therapy can expand access to trained therapists and accommodate varied preferences for how counseling is delivered.
