This flexibility can make it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiver responsibilities, or access support without a commute.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients can switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, virtual sessions offer a practical and effective path to consistent therapeutic work and progress.
