How narrative and practical therapies work online
Dr. Simon blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people untangle the stories that shape daily reactions. Narrative Therapy focuses on the personal stories people tell about themselves and their lives, helping to identify alternate stories that reduce distress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and building trust so people feel heard and respected in sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. These methods are useful for problems like stress, sleep trouble, anxiety, depression, and recovery from trauma, and they can be combined with motivational interviewing or mindfulness techniques as needed.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix of narrative, client-centered listening, and CBT fits their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make scheduling easier and let people choose what fits their day.
