Online session options
Using Narrative and Skills-Based Approaches Online
Dr. Roberts uses Narrative Therapy to help people place their difficulties within a wider life story, making it easier to see options and new meanings. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-based relationship where the client's experiences guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify upsetting thought patterns and try out different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may mix narrative work with skill practice from CBT or DBT depending on what the person wants to accomplish.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what works in their daily life. Video lets people meet face to face from another room, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
