One of the primary benefits of remote therapy is flexibility. People can connect with licensed professionals in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules and daily life.

Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and if a particular match does not feel right clients typically have the option to seek a different therapist.
