If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone engage from a quieter setting, or choose an option that avoids being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people practice skills, review progress, and troubleshoot setbacks without asking clients to rearrange major parts of their day.
