One of the main benefits of remote care is flexibility. Individuals can choose the communication method that feels most comfortable - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to add therapy into a busy schedule or access care from different locations.

Licensed professionals deliver therapy remotely, and if someone decides they would like a different fit, switching therapists is an option. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible way to engage with therapeutic support while maintaining the continuity and effectiveness of care.
