Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Online sessions with Khadija often draw on Narrative Therapy, which focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps them find different ways to understand difficult events. This approach can be useful for grief, immigration challenges, and shifting long-held beliefs about the self.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where a person’s own priorities guide the work. That means a therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters most to you, and helps you move toward your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and daily functioning.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Khadija will invite conversation about goals, try methods that match your situation, and adjust the plan over time. Finding the right mix of story-focused work and skill practice happens together, not all at once.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face when you want a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a quieter option. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while using approaches that match your needs.
