One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.

Licensed professionals provide care through these options, and if a client feels a different match would be more helpful, switching therapists is always possible.
