Using Narrative and Practical Therapies Online
Dr. Wilcox blends Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered listening to help people untangle the stories that drive their feelings and behaviors. Narrative work looks at the personal stories people tell about themselves and finds new, more helpful ways to tell those stories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-driven steps even when emotions are difficult. Client-centered work emphasizes empathetic listening and tailoring the pace to each person's needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs, and preferences and decide together which combination of Narrative, ACT, or client-centered techniques to use. This collaborative process can shift over time as goals change or new challenges appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for longer therapy sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are practical for brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style notes, or fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to meet consistently and to use therapy strategies between sessions.
