Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when scheduling makes real-time meetings difficult. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
