The profile did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when you only need a focused conversation. Phone sessions can be helpful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Ask about current formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
