The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Some remote formats can also reduce the need to be on camera or allow shorter focused check-ins when that better fits daily life.
