Licensed professionals offer the option to change clinicians if a different fit is desired, allowing clients to find the therapeutic relationship that works best for them. For those weighing whether remote therapy is appropriate, considering accessibility, scheduling needs, and personal comfort with each communication method can help determine the best path forward.
