Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Danielle often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they live with. This approach focuses on the stories people tell and helps create alternative, more empowering narratives for issues like grief, trauma, relationship strain, and addiction.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. This can help people with codependency, abandonment worries, and relationship conflict understand patterns and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy is another key part of her practice, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Danielle talks with each person about goals and preferences and tests different techniques to see what fits. She adjusts work over time so therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
