The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing quicker check-ins during a workday break. Different formats also let people choose what fits their energy level, for example a shorter session when focus is limited or a video session when face-to-face interaction matters.
