Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time, fitting a session into a lunch break, or keeping check-ins brief when that suits a schedule. It can also allow consistent contact during recovery from addiction, during disaster-related stress, or when managing chronic illness.
