Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options help people get consistent care while balancing work, childcare, and other obligations.
