One of the main advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the format that works best for them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from a preferred environment.

Therapists who offer remote services are licensed professionals, and clients can change providers if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, evidence-informed option for addressing everyday mental health concerns and navigating personal challenges.
