The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online or remote therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that better suits a schedule. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity through life changes, by keeping appointments in place when routines shift.
