Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that best fits their life and comfort level: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to maintain continuity of care when routines change or when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
Licensed professionals and therapists use many of the same evidence-based approaches online that they use in person, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if a different fit is desired. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible and effective way to address mental health and relationship concerns while accommodating real-world demands.
