One major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect in the format that works best for them, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistency in care and fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide the care, and people can choose or change therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For those weighing options, remote therapy can offer effective, accessible support from trained therapists without requiring travel or a change in daily routine.
