One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that works best for them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care through transitions.

Licensed professionals and therapists are available to provide evidence-based approaches, and clients are free to change therapists if they seek a different fit. For many people, remote therapy presents a practical and effective way to pursue emotional growth and problem solving while maintaining the routines of daily life.
