Online session options
How narrative and action-focused work translates online
Her practice draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Client-Centered Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and try alternative ways of understanding their life. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values, accepting difficult thoughts, and taking committed action toward goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation where the person sets the pace and agenda.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on values and behavioral steps, rewriting unhelpful stories, or simply creating space to talk and be heard.
Online therapy is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins, quick reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to build consistent habits and try new ways of coping without travel.
