One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue support when in-person meetings are difficult.

Licensed professionals deliver online therapy, and clients may change therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many people, remote sessions provide a convenient, approachable path to working on everyday challenges and personal growth with a trained therapist.
