Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Aaron often uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and make new meanings. This can be useful for shifting perspectives on mood, isolation, or life purpose. He pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the client's priorities and pace, focusing on listening and support.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes that improve sleep, anxiety, or mood. Together these approaches offer both reflection on life stories and hands-on techniques for daily problems. Choosing the right mix is collaborative - Aaron works with each person to test what fits their needs and goals, and adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and texting or chat can fit quick check-ins or shorter workday breaks. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, or family responsibilities.
