One major benefit is flexibility - you can connect with a therapist in the way that suits you best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from home.

Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if you ever want a different match you are generally free to switch to another therapist. This format can provide a practical and accessible route to consistent, professional support.
