One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can meet with a therapist in the format that works best for them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.

Licensed professionals provide care remotely, and if a different match is preferred, clients can switch therapists. For many people, remote therapy offers an effective, practical way to access skilled therapists while balancing the demands of everyday life.
