Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when that helps. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when scheduling needs are tight. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy days.
