One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can choose the mode of connection that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

Licensed professionals offer these remote options, and clients have the ability to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy can make consistent support more accessible while preserving the core therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.
