Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can work for brief updates, reminders, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
