How narrative and ACT approaches work online
Adam often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories that shape their reactions and relationships. Narrative work helps separate a person from a problem so they can see choices and different directions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another approach he uses to build present-moment awareness and clarify values so people can take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult.Finding the right fit is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which approaches make sense for their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions combine discussion, short exercises, and practical homework so the plan evolves from week to week based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is helpful for longer sessions and deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules while using the approaches that best match each person's needs.
