One of the key benefits is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to stay consistent with sessions.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they would like a different fit. For many, online therapy offers a practical and accessible route to working on personal challenges with the guidance of a trained therapist.
