Online session options
Narrative and Practical Therapies Online
Deidra often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. This approach invites you to separate yourself from a problem and rewrite the story in ways that support healthier choices and relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple strategies to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deidra treats the choice of methods as a team effort, looking at your goals, daily needs, and what feels most helpful. She will suggest options, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what actually helps you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or tracking progress between longer sessions. These options aim to give flexibility so therapy can happen around work, family, and daily demands.
