Online session options
How narrative and solution-focused work online
Dr. Jones commonly draws on Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps them reframe those stories to highlight strengths and choices. It can help with identity, family roles, and unpacking how past messages affect current decisions. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and on what clients want to see happen next. That approach is useful for people who prefer concrete goals and brief, action-based work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants audio-only contact. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing prompts between longer sessions. These options offer scheduling flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
