How Narrative and Practical Approaches Work Online
Curley blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people change the stories that hold them back. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from a problem and finding alternative storylines that fit their values and goals. It can help with anxiety, relationship patterns, grief, and identity concerns.Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation built around the client's perspective and pace. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, which supports emotional processing and clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds straightforward tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors when clients want concrete strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Curley will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust as needs change. That collaborative process helps clients find what feels most useful for their situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter, flexible exchanges or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and daily life.
