If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by allowing appointments without travel and by making it easier to schedule brief check-ins. Some people prefer sessions that do not require video for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in during a work break. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so you can pick what best fits your routine.
