Online session options
How Narrative and ACT work in online therapy
Janice often uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell a different story about painful experiences. This approach separates the person from their problems and makes it easier to spot patterns and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most in life. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by building psychological flexibility.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will discuss options and try methods that match a person's goals and preferences. She treats the choice as a collaboration and adjusts strategies based on what is helpful in real sessions.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging let someone check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These formats make it possible to work on trauma, relationships, and life changes without rearranging everything in a schedule.
