The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to avoid travel time. Phone or video can make shorter check-ins possible and reduce time away from other responsibilities. Talk with the clinician about what will work logistically and what kind of session length or rhythm best fits your life.
