One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access therapists who may not be nearby.
