How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Dr. Mccarroll uses Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they carry. Narrative work looks at how events are described and invites new meanings, which can help with trauma, shame, or identity concerns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace and topics. That approach supports people who need to feel heard before making changes.He often combines those approaches with cognitive behavioral ideas when people want clear tools for managing thoughts and behavior. The clinician will work collaboratively to decide which approach or mix of strategies fits best for a person’s goals and daily life. Choosing the right method is part of the process and will be adjusted as needs and preferences change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for quick updates, brief check-ins, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
