Online session options
How narrative and values-based approaches work online
Andrea uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice and reframe the stories they carry about themselves and their relationships, which can reduce shame and open options for change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports aligning actions with personal values while learning to accept difficult feelings, a good fit for stress, grief, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending Narrative work with ACT techniques or using client-centered listening alongside skill-focused CBT or DBT tools when practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make ongoing care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter conversations between sessions. These options let people try different formats and find what helps them keep steady progress.
