One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to include therapy in a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if someone does not feel the right match they can switch to a different therapist. Online therapy offers an accessible option for people seeking support while maintaining many of the therapeutic benefits found in face-to-face care.
