Narrative and Attachment Work Online
Jaeron-Rae often uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reshape the stories that guide their choices and feelings. This approach focuses on the meanings people give events and helps undo harmful storylines that keep them stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy is also used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, trust, and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together they will adjust the work based on what feels most useful and workable 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 skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for focused check-ins, and messaging provides short, ongoing support between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and try different formats to see what helps most.
