Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches fit online therapy
Abigail uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their day-to-day lives. This approach can help with identity questions, grief, and patterns that repeat across relationships. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s priorities, making space for people to set the pace and topics for their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often used alongside these approaches, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete strategies for change and is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Abigail will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The plan can change over time based on what feels most helpful and achievable for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone needs a shorter way to connect. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
