Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Therapeutic Approaches Online and How They Help
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Narrative ideas invite clients to examine the stories they live by and try new ways of describing their experiences, which can free up different choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and suggest ways to combine methods. That plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a written conversation fits a schedule. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or family life while keeping the focus on practical coping and real-world changes.
