One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the way that suits them best: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions.

Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they want a different match. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical, effective option to pursue consistent support and personal growth.
