Non-verbal communication. In-person sessions allow therapists to read nonverbal cues that support verbal communication. Non-verbal information can help a therapist better understand your needs.

Neutral location. Sessions that take place in a therapist's office can provide a space away from your everyday life. A location that feels neutral can increase your comfort when sharing private information.

Intensive support. Some mental health needs require direct, in-person therapeutic support. Art, music, and play therapy can provide effective support when used in person.
