That range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue care when in-person visits are difficult.

Sessions are offered by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients have the option to switch providers if they need a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, practical way to pursue personal growth and emotional support.
