One major advantage is flexibility - people can meet with a therapist in the way that fits their routine and comfort level, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and apply therapeutic strategies between meetings.

Therapists offering remote work are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist at any time if they want a better fit. For many, online therapy provides a practical, accessible path to consistent therapeutic support.
