One of the clearest advantages is flexibility - clients can choose how they meet with a therapist, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and other commitments.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different clinical fit. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical, accessible way to engage with therapeutic support while maintaining continuity of care.
