Online session options
How Narrative and Attachment Work Online
Audrey uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face. That means clients examine the stories they tell about events and relationships and try out new, more useful ways of describing their lives. Attachment-Based Therapy helps identify patterns in how people relate to others, especially in close relationships, and works on changing those patterns so interactions feel safer and more connected.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Audrey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and day-to-day needs. Together they review what is helping, what is not, and adapt the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and practice skills between meetings.
