Online session options
Using Narrative and ACT online for everyday challenges
Jamayla blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change the stories that keep them stuck and build a valued life. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the world, then helps re-author those stories so they fit a person's goals better. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jamayla will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. She encourages clients to be active in choosing what feels helpful and adjusts methods over time based on feedback and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging so people can pick what fits their life. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while still working on real goals.
