Clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, family, or other commitments.
Licensed professionals and therapists provide these remote services, and clients often have the option to try a different therapist if they prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and practical way to engage in regular therapeutic work without sacrificing quality of care.
