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.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Alexandria directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and attachment patterns affect present relationships and feelings. It helps people who want to understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and to build more supported ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace, with the therapist offering empathy, acceptance, and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through decisions, identity, or painful emotions.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. It can be useful for shifting unhelpful narratives about worth, identity, or past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then choose or combine methods that fit. This collaborative planning is revisited as goals change.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and hold longer sessions, phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
