One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the format that fits their life best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.

Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients may switch providers if they would prefer a different fit. For those weighing options, virtual sessions offer an accessible way to begin or continue work on personal concerns with a licensed professional.
