This range of options makes it easier to fit consistent care into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity when life circumstances change.
Therapists who offer remote care are licensed professionals, and if a different approach or provider would be a better match, clients generally have the option to switch. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and effective path to working on emotional and relational goals with a qualified therapist.
