How narrative and practical therapies work online
Angelica uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and rewrite troubling patterns. This approach invites clients to tell their story, notice dominant themes, and try new meanings that reduce distress. It is useful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and ongoing stress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what the client values most, offering empathy and space so the person guides the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used as needed, looks at thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce anxiety or manage anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Angelica will partner with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That collaboration can shift over time as new needs or goals appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat works well for brief check-ins or when writing helps process thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
