If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so sessions happen more consistently. It can also let people use video when they want face-to-face interaction or choose voice-only when that better suits the moment.
