If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down on travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or audio when that works best for them. Talk with Shannon during the matching steps to learn which session formats she is providing and to find a routine that matches daily demands.
