How narrative and practical therapy work online
Gregory uses Narrative therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems. This approach focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and looks for alternative, more helpful ways to frame difficult experiences. It can be useful for stress, depression, and identity concerns.He also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and empathy. In this style the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to shift mood and habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gregory will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on what is most helpful in practice rather than sticking to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone can be lower bandwidth and easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
