One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that works best for them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, family, and other commitments.

Licensed professionals and therapists offer a range of therapeutic approaches online, and individuals may switch providers if they feel another approach or therapist would be a better fit. For many people, remote therapy provides a convenient and practical way to access professional support while maintaining continuity of care.
