This approach can make professional support more accessible while still addressing core emotional and interpersonal issues.

One of the main benefits is flexibility - individuals can meet with licensed professionals in the format that best suits their needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That adaptability often makes it easier to incorporate therapy into busy schedules or to maintain continuity of care during life changes.
