Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches translate online
Antoinette blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered techniques to shape online work. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves so problems feel less defining and choices become clearer. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people move toward what matters even with hard feelings. Client-Centered techniques emphasize empathetic listening and respect, giving space for clients to steer the conversation. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Antoinette talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to lean on and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days while keeping work focused on values, coping skills, and meaningful change.Common questions about this listing
