One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule.

Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients may choose to switch providers anytime if they would prefer a different fit.
