Individuals can connect in the format that best fits their routine and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options often makes it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide care through these channels, and if someone does not feel that a particular therapist is the right fit, it is possible to explore other therapists.
