That flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care through life changes.

Licensed professionals offer a range of therapeutic approaches online, and clients may switch therapists if they need a different fit. For those weighing options, online therapy provides accessible ways to work with trained therapists while preserving the structure and clinical focus of regular therapeutic work.
