One key benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that best suits their needs and schedule - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to maintain continuity of care amid busy lives.

Licensed professionals offer these remote services, and if a different fit is desired at any time, clients are able to explore other therapists. For many people, online therapy increases access to consistent support while fitting more naturally into day-to-day life.
