One major benefit is flexibility.

This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and people may switch therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical option for those seeking accessible, consistent support from qualified therapists.
