It can be an accessible way to address these challenges without changing the quality of care. One major benefit is flexibility - people can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility helps make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and daily life.
