One of the main advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that works best for them - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limitations, or maintain continuity during periods of change.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and therapists are available to help people explore whether remote therapy meets their needs. If a different therapeutic approach or a new clinician would be a better fit, clients typically have the option to switch at any time.
