Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera.

These formats make it easier to fit therapy into evenings and weekends and to maintain continuity without traveling.
