The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins during a workday. Different formats can suit different tasks - for example, a shorter voice call may be useful for a brief progress update, while a longer video meeting can allow for deeper skills practice and conversation. Ask about the available session types when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine and goals.
