This flexibility makes it easier to schedule sessions and maintain continuity of care even when routines are busy or circumstances change.

Licensed professionals provide therapy through these formats, and clients may switch therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For many, remote therapy offers a practical and effective path to receiving support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
