One of the primary advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

Licensed professionals offer these remote options, and clients can switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible and practical way to work toward their goals with a trained therapist.
