Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten the time needed for check-ins, and reduce travel so sessions work around school or work. It can also allow simpler audio-only check-ins when video isn’t practical. Ask about formats when you start the matching questionnaire so scheduling reflects your needs.
