Online session options

How narrative and behavior-focused methods work online

Dr. Brown uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at personal narratives and helps identify themes that may hold someone back, then explores new ways to tell that story to support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines attention to values with simple exercises to reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings and help people act toward what matters to them.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to notice how relationship patterns shape reactions today and to build healthier ways of connecting. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how the approaches feel in practice, then adjust as needed during ongoing work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth sessions where tone and body language matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support more accessible and can fit into busy days. These options give flexibility to match therapy to a person’s schedule and comfort.
