Online session options
Ways narrative and evidence-based work fit online
Cathey uses narrative ideas to help people rewrite the stories that shape their reactions. Narrative approaches focus on the events and meanings people attach to them to open up different choices and perspectives. This is useful when someone feels stuck by old labels like failure or guilt.She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is practical for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationship patterns or caregiving stress affect day-to-day mood and behavior by highlighting how early connections influence current responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cathey collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match goals and comfort. She adapts exercises and pacing based on feedback so therapy stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier when movement is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, journaling support, or quick coping strategies between longer sessions.
