That range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care even when time, travel, or other obligations make in-person visits difficult.
Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and if someone decides a different therapeutic fit is needed they can switch providers. For many people, online therapy offers a convenient and practical way to pursue counseling without sacrificing the collaborative, goal-focused work that in-person therapy provides.
