One of the main advantages is flexibility - clients can choose the communication method that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage mobility or transportation limits, and maintain continuity of care during life changes.

Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For those weighing their options, remote therapy can be a practical and accessible way to engage in consistent, structured support.
