The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote work to maintain regular contact and assign brief exercises between meetings to reinforce changes in daily life.
