It can be useful for workplace problems, stress management, and short-term coaching goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Polly will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best. She tailors conversations and action plans based on needs, goals, and personal preferences in an ongoing way.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce commute time and allow follow-up conversations during a lunch break or between work tasks.
