Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments between other commitments. It can also support shorter check-ins or phone visits when video is not convenient. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Gilda, can use remote sessions to maintain momentum on practical goals and follow up on homework between meetings.
