How narrative and skills-based therapy works online
Jennifer often blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered care to help people reframe stories that keep them stuck. Narrative work looks at the way events and roles are described and invites new meanings that feel more helpful. This approach can help with life transitions, grief, identity questions, and feeling overwhelmed.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation and stress management. DBT-based tools are practical - breathing, grounding, boundary-setting, and communication strategies - that someone can use between sessions for anxiety, intense emotions, or relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. They will adjust what they try based on what helps most, combining narrative reframing with skills practice when appropriate.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls work well for longer talks and exercises, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat lets people check in between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and practical needs.
