Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Many clients find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also let someone keep momentum between in-person visits and try tools in real-life settings, with discussion and troubleshooting during sessions.
