Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow support from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area, and enable continued care through a mix of synchronous and asynchronous communication to suit different comfort levels and goals.
