Why California EMTs Prefer Virtual Therapy

California EMTs face brutal schedules, emotional strain, and critical incidents daily. But when they seek help, many turn to virtual therapy over traditional in-person care — and for good reason.

Here’s why virtual therapy is becoming the go-to choice for EMTs statewide.
