How narrative and ACT work online
Dr. Moen combines Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change how their life stories influence current choices. Narrative Therapy focuses on identifying the stories that shape behavior and then rewriting those stories so they support new goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches attention skills and values-based action to reduce struggle with painful thoughts and feelings.He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect present relationships and communication. That work helps people recognize patterns in commitment, codependency, and intimacy so they can try different interaction styles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate to decide whether narrative framing, ACT exercises, attachment-focused sessions, or a mix fits best. The plan adjusts based on your goals, what feels useful, and how you respond over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video gives visual connection for deeper interaction, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions while balancing work, caregiving, and other commitments.
