One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the way that feels most comfortable to them: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care.

All therapists offering remote care are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they would like a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical and effective option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
