How Narrative and Skills-Based Work Translate Online
Jennifer often blends Narrative Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to open new possibilities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a tight schedule or a work break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, share brief updates, or get short coaching on a difficult moment. These options give flexibility for different needs and make it easier to keep therapy consistent over time.
