One key advantage of remote sessions is flexibility.

Licensed professionals and therapists working remotely use a range of therapeutic approaches and can often accommodate changes in fit by providing options to switch providers if another perspective is desired. For many people, virtual therapy offers a practical, accessible way to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.
