Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from home while focusing on skills practice and planning that translate into everyday life.
