How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online
Jerrold uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their feelings and actions. This approach looks at the events and meanings that influence everyday choices and helps individuals find alternative, more helpful narratives.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and understanding. That method helps people feel heard and supports self-directed insight and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool he uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps most in real life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent despite busy lives.
