One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from different locations.

Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients are able to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For people weighing their options, remote therapy can offer a convenient, accessible way to work on mental health and well-being with qualified professionals.
