Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises like CBT worksheets or brief solution-focused tasks to work well in remote meetings and support progress between sessions.
