Online session options
How Narrative and Mindfulness Fit into Online Care
Chris often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from troubling problems and to examine the stories that shape their choices. This approach can be useful for identity questions, life purpose concerns, and repeating relationship patterns. Existential Therapy is used to look at values, responsibility, and meaning when someone is facing big life transitions or questions about direction.Mindfulness Therapy techniques are offered to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices can help with grounding, body image concerns, and managing strong emotions so someone can act with more clarity.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing thoughts between meetings. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and for matching the style of interaction someone prefers.
