One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the format that feels most comfortable: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and clients may choose a different therapist at any time if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, effective route to addressing everyday concerns and working toward personal goals.
