Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Geoffrey uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems, which can open up new choices and perspectives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take small committed steps toward them even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and can be useful for intimacy and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Geoffrey will listen to goals and try methods that match a client's needs and preferences. He checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and emotional work, while phone calls can fit a shorter break in the day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
