One of the main benefits is convenience. People can connect with therapists in the way that works best for them - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue care from a distance.

Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change providers if a different fit is needed. For many, online therapy provides a flexible, accessible route to support and progress.
