Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Alayna uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reshape the stories that shape their lives. This approach looks at the meaning of events and helps people see alternatives to limiting narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another key tool she uses; ACT focuses on identifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in her work as a practical, skills-based method to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more toward narrative reflection, ACT values work, CBT skill-building, or a mix of methods tailored to the person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a brief break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are handy for quick check-ins, homework prompts, or steady support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
