Online session options
How narrative and ACT work in online sessions
Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they live with. In sessions the therapist guides clients to tell different stories about events and relationships so they can try new behaviors and feel less defined by past hurts. This approach can help with relationship strain, identity questions, and recurring patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match what matters to them. Attachment-Based therapy looks at how early bonds shape current expectations and reactions in close relationships and helps people practice new ways of relating.
Choosing the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as needed. Clients help decide which approaches feel most useful and relevant to their day-to-day life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain momentum while working toward their goals.
