If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Different therapists and services offer different formats, so check what Vera is providing at the time. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone or video work can be chosen for reasons like lower bandwidth needs or not needing to be on camera, but please verify which formats Vera offers before scheduling.
