One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the way that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to keep regular appointments and to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals deliver care through these channels, and clients can change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, practical route to working with a therapist while maintaining continuity of care.
