One major advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care.
Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy offers a convenient and effective way to access professional support while balancing the demands of daily life.
