Could online therapy suit your needs?

Many people consider whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life changes - online therapy can be comparable to traditional in-person sessions and can deliver meaningful progress for many clients.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients may choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals offer a variety of ways to connect, allowing people to find a style of communication that works best for them.

Therapists are licensed professionals, and if the initial match does not feel right, clients generally have the option to switch to a different therapist. That ability to change providers helps people find the therapeutic relationship that supports their growth and goals.
