Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify them. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into workdays, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular check-ins. Phone sessions may be helpful when a shorter check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited. Kristin will discuss which formats make sense for scheduling and for the work a person wants to do.
