One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the connection method that fits their life and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments.

Therapists who provide remote services are licensed professionals, and if a different match is desired it is generally possible to switch to another therapist.
