Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Visone uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and see how those stories shape feelings and choices. Narrative work is useful for identity issues, life transitions, and long-standing patterns that feel stuck.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and motivation problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaboration means adjusting techniques over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit shorter breaks or lower bandwidth, and chat or text options support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and medical appointments.
