How narrative and skill-based work translates online
Anthony blends Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered approaches with Cognitive Behavioral ideas. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe life stories and separate problems from who they are, which can ease shame and open new possibilities. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds practical tools for managing worry, mood, and unhelpful thoughts, like testing small behavior changes and tracking results.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony will talk through goals and preferences with clients and try methods that fit their situation. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what feels useful and what leads to small, workable changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when a quieter environment or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping tools, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules while using the methods that suit each person.
