For these kinds of challenges, remote care has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for a wide range of clients.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with their therapist in the format that best suits their needs - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to maintain continuity of care across locations.

Therapists offering remote care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different clinician if they feel a different fit would be helpful. Remote therapy supports access, convenience, and a variety of communication styles while maintaining the core therapeutic elements of assessment, treatment planning, and ongoing support.
