How Narrative and Attachment Work Online
Kristine combines Narrative therapy and Attachment-based work with client-centered care to help people untangle painful patterns and build new ways of coping. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and relationships and helps separate problems from a person's identity, which can be useful for issues like shame, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and relationships, helping people who struggle with trust, closeness, or abandonment fears.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine will talk with each person about their goals and needs, then try methods that fit those aims. She adjusts techniques as the work progresses so the approach evolves alongside the client's priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, skills practice, or when a written format helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, medical appointments, or caregiving routines while keeping continuity of care across locations.
