One major advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with licensed professionals in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to weave therapy into a busy schedule. This adaptability can reduce barriers to consistent care and support ongoing progress.
