How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
DeBorah draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach invites clients to notice unhelpful narratives and try different meanings so they can make choices that fit their values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then act in ways that match their priorities. That can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for the person to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then choose techniques together. This collaborative process is meant to match methods to what the person wants to change and how they prefer to engage in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, checking in between sessions, or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum.
