A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that feels most comfortable - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or when geographic access is limited.

Therapists offering online support are licensed professionals, and clients can change therapists at any time if they would prefer a different match. Online formats can increase accessibility and convenience while preserving the therapeutic focus that helps people work through their concerns.
