The main questions it aims to answer are: * When comparing the two strategies, which will result in high participant-reported health empowerment assessed approximately 7 - 21 days of completing the approach? * When comparing the two strategies, which will result in high participant-reported health engagement assessed approximately 7 - 21 days of completing the approach? Participants will: * complete baseline assessments about their health, daily activities, and their attitudes about healthcare and their treatment. These will be done over the phone and/or online survey. * have one virtual session with a health professional to discuss their health and wellness. * 7-21 days after the session with a health professional, participants will complete an online survey about their attitudes about healthcare and their treatment. * Some participants may be invited to complete an additional interview about their study participation around 3 months after their session with the health professional.
