One major benefit of remote therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations.

Licensed professionals provide remote therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would work better. For those weighing their options, remote therapy can offer a practical and effective route to receiving professional support from qualified therapists.
