One major benefit is convenience. Individuals can connect with licensed professionals in the way that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule. That flexibility can increase consistency and make it simpler to stick with the work.

Licensed professionals offer a variety of therapeutic approaches and generally welcome requests to change therapists if a different fit is desired. For many people, remote sessions offer an accessible, flexible way to engage in therapeutic work with a qualified therapist.
