This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.

Therapists who provide remote services are trained professionals, and people may choose to switch providers if they are seeking a different therapeutic fit. For many, online therapy is a practical, effective way to access professional support without the need for in-person visits.
