If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try therapy while testing different strategies in everyday settings, then bring observations back to sessions for adjustment.
