If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new communication skills in everyday settings and follow up on coaching goals between visits.
