One major advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or challenging circumstances.

Therapists and licensed professionals who offer virtual sessions use a variety of clinical approaches, and clients may switch providers if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy is a convenient, accessible route to consistent support and practical tools for coping and growth.
