How narrative and practical approaches work online
Julie uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their experiences by separating problems from identity and retelling personal stories in more empowering ways. That approach can help with relationship strain, grief, and life changes by creating new perspectives on old patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-focused space where a person’s goals lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are introduced when concrete steps or behavior changes can reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Together these approaches mix reflection with practical action.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer flexibility and several ways to connect: video calls for conversation and visual cues, phone sessions for lower bandwidth and quicker check-ins, live chat for short exchanges, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and choose what feels most comfortable for the moment.
