It offers access to evidence-based approaches and practical tools delivered by licensed professionals who tailor treatment to each client’s needs.

One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Clients may connect with their therapist using the method that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. This flexibility can remove logistical barriers and support more consistent attendance.

Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist if a better fit is desired.
