The biography does not list session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or check in during a short break from work. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others opt for shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth or quieter surroundings are needed. These practical options help integrate therapy into everyday life without promising any specific outcome.
