Online session options
How Narrative and Attachment Ideas Work Online
Jenna uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems that trouble them and to rewrite the stories that get in the way of living. That approach helps when old patterns or identities feel stuck and someone wants to try new ways of being. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds, which can help people understand why they react a certain way and learn different responses.She treats finding the right approach as a shared project. Early sessions focus on understanding goals, values, and everyday routines so she and the person can pick methods that fit. The plan can change over time as needs shift, and she works collaboratively to choose what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework review, or steady support between longer sessions. These options aim to make it easier to attend, practice new skills, and keep momentum toward personal goals.
