One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with licensed professionals in the way that suits them best: by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home or another comfortable setting.

Licensed professionals provide care and you can request a different therapist at any time if you want a different fit. For many, remote therapy offers an effective and convenient way to pursue personal growth and address everyday mental health concerns.
