Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work fit online
Aleta combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Narrative Therapy helps people retell and reorganize personal stories so problems feel less defining. Client-Centered work focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. CBT adds clear, practical tools for changing thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Deciding on an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text work well for short updates, skills practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
