How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Claudia uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and reframe life stories. This approach is useful for grief, identity questions, and patterns that feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and focus on values-based action for stress, anxiety, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, using client feedback to guide the work.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or fitting therapy into a lunch break. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and try different formats to see what helps most.
