One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable for them: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
