Working by Narrative and Practical Approaches Online
Annette often blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral tools. Narrative Therapy helps people retell their life stories to see different possibilities and reduce the hold of painful events. Client-Centered work focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral ideas add concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to try new ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annette treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and will help figure out what fits a person’s goals, preferences, and daily demands. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what the client needs and how they respond over time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people see visual cues and do deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help weave therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
