Using Narrative and Practical Therapies Online
Jonathan often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and find new ways to frame identity, relationships, and life changes. Narrative work can be helpful for gender questions, coming out, and shifting how a person views past events.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a calm, accepting space where the person’s perspective leads the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when people want concrete tools to manage anxiety, depression, or unhelpful thought patterns; CBT offers step-by-step techniques to change habits and reactions.
Finding the best approach is part of the process and happens together. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different situations. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and body language cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and travel.
