Clients can choose the mode of connection that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside work, family, and other commitments.
Licensed professionals deliver therapy in these formats, and clients are free to request a different therapist if they feel a different fit would be helpful.
