The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and maintain continuity of care through health or caregiving demands. Others prefer in-person meetings when they want a different pace of interaction. Lina and the matching process will help clarify what works best for daily life and goals.
