The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. For those who value integrating creative materials, digital files or photos of artwork, songs, or poems can be shared during conversations to support reflection and growth.
