The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. Some people find phone sessions require less bandwidth, while video sessions allow for face-to-face interaction; discuss preferences and practicalities when you schedule the first appointment.
