Online session options
How narrative and skills-based therapy work online
Jennifer commonly blends Narrative Therapy with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness work. Narrative Therapy helps by separating a person from the problem and creating new, less painful stories about their life. DBT provides clear skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and reducing impulsive reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple breathing and grounding exercises that reduce anxiety and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist listens to current stresses, goals, and daily routines, then suggests which methods to try first. Sessions stay flexible so strategies can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people talk face-to-face for full conversation and skill coaching. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins and emotional processing. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and ongoing skill practice between sessions, making it easier to fit help into a busy week.
