The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which online formats are offered before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy schedule because sessions can be slotted between commitments, involve shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can still use practical exercises, homework, and regular feedback to keep progress moving forward.
