How Narrative and Practical Approaches Work Online
Dr. Serdencuk often uses Narrative therapy to help people identify the stories that shape their choices and then consider alternative narratives. Narrative work is useful for identity questions, family of origin issues, and patterns that feel stuck. She also uses Client-Centered therapy to keep sessions collaborative and respectful of each person's pace, focusing on listening and helping clients set their own goals.She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical complement when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors need direct attention. CBT tools can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive urges by teaching specific strategies to change thinking and routine. Together these approaches let the therapist and client try different ways of working and choose what fits best.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That makes the plan collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a hectic day, live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into real life.
