One of the principal benefits is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote formats, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if they’d like a different fit. Online therapy can offer an accessible, practical way to engage in consistent, evidence-informed work with therapists.
