The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and remove travel time. For example, a remote session can allow a shorter check-in between commitments or let someone join from a quieter location when that is more practical. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques so exercises and homework work well at a distance.
