How narrative and values work online
Demetrius often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they describe and open up new ways of seeing their lives. This approach helps when recurring stories - like feeling stuck or unlovable - block forward movement and relationship repair.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and focus action. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing small steps that fit core values, which can help with anxiety, grief, and career decisions. Attachment-based ideas guide attention to patterns in close relationships and how to build more stable connections over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss what feels most useful, try different techniques, and adjust based on your goals and feedback. The aim is to find practical moves you can use between sessions while keeping your personal story in view.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions suit deeper conversation and working through relationship patterns. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style work, or quick coping strategies between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working together.
