How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Julianne blends narrative ideas with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and tests new ways of living those stories. It can help when patterns feel stuck or when past events keep shaping today.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and handling strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape reactions and coping; it can help when caregiving stress, abandonment, or connection struggles are central concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and chat or text can work for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets in the way.
