The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into work breaks, remove travel time, or allow a shorter check-in on busy days. If you want to focus on skill practice, mindfulness exercises can be done in brief segments between meetings, and solution-focused steps work well in concise online conversations.
