The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during short breaks or between obligations. They can also let someone keep regular contact with a licensed professional when in-person visits are difficult, while still allowing for focused conversation and practical skill-building.
